The team behind the Certification in Ethics and Compliance invites you to a free networking event featuring our specialists in responsible artificial intelligence: Paul Gagnon, Prasad Garigipati and Sarah Legendre Bilodeau. This panel discussion on the challenges of artificial intelligence will be moderated by Joé T. Martineau, Associate Professor and expert in organizational ethics.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming embedded in organizations. Yet as its applications multiply, the risks often evolve faster than our ability to manage and regulate them.

Exposed sensitive data, amplified biases, flawed decisions, sophisticated cyberattacks, and non-compliance with legal frameworks: the consequences are real, immediate, and significant.

In this context, two critical questions arise: how can organizations anticipate these risks, and who should be held accountable when AI causes harm? The organization, the technology provider, the user, or leadership?

This panel aims to open the discussion around these still largely undefined grey areas. Through complementary perspectives, the speakers will shed light on emerging risks related to generative AI, as well as the blind spots that traditional risk management mechanisms often fail to address.
The discussion will also explore ethical best practices organizations should implement, including internal policies, governance frameworks, employee awareness initiatives, and the role of boards of directors in overseeing these increasingly unavoidable issues.

A panel not to be missed for anyone seeking to better understand the risks associated with generative AI and prepare for challenges no organization will be able to avoid.

As spaces are limited, we encourage you to register now. Registrations will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis until full capacity is reached.

Join an insightful panel discussion on the challenges of generative artificial intelligence, where Paul Gagnon, Prasad Garigipati and Sarah Legendre Bilodeau will share their perspectives, moderated by Joé T. Martineau, to explore the grey areas of accountability, emerging risks, and governance challenges in a rich, timely discussion grounded in the realities organizations face today.
