Live Panel: What does Data Governance look like in the world of AI?

Join the webinar here (at 4pm today)

Machine Learning and AI is redefining how technology - and the world - works. Greater use of ever-increasing volumes of data provide massive opportunity for the world to progress like never before. 

But as luminaries such as Elon Musk have warned, AI also poses a huge risk to humanity.

So a huge opportunity and an equally significant risk. In this webinar panel we'll ask, what does data look like in an AI world and in particular, how can we get data governance and protection right in a way that enables maximum innovation?

The future relies on us getting this right, now.

This live online panel of global experts, in partnership with IFIP's 60th Anniversary, will explore data governance and where that balance lies - within the context of AI and other advances in technology - with lots of time set aside for Q&A.

Our international panel includes:

• Dame Diane Robertson, Executive Director at the New Zealand Data Trust. Diane is passionate about ensuring the good governance of data to enable organisations to provide excellent services, undertake research and share data and enable better outcomes for communities
  
  
• Tyson Fawcett, Senior Director of Data Management at the Australian Tax Office. Tyson holds a role with significant oversight of data within Australia's federal tax system. He is involved in various standards-setting and other activities around data governance.
