Webinar Overview

How do you assess whether an AI or ADM system will be lawful, let alone fair and reasonable, necessary and proportionate? Your standard PIA framework may not be suitable to capture the risks posed by AI and automated decision-making systems.

In this practical, interactive and educational webinar, Anna will use plain language explanations, scenarios drawn from our experience, and fun exercises to educate you about:

  • the risks that go beyond the obvious
  • the AI landmines to avoid, and
  • how to identify privacy-related harms in AI and automated decision-making systems.

Be prepared to participate in quick and fun quizzes, as you learn how to sniff out and defuse potential landmines in AI projects – before they explode.
