Office Hours: Earning a Social License for Generative AI

Earning a Social License for Generative AI

Generative AI is being adopted at a pace faster than any other technology. Yet, with all this rapid adoption, are companies truly considering the unintended consequences of investing in the wrong ways for the wrong purposes?

Driven by an urgency to innovate, organisations risk overlooking the things that make the adoption of new technologies successful—trust, transparency, and solving real needs. There are already many examples of organisations that have not quite got this right (Hello, Figma!).

In our next Office Hours event, we will discuss the pressing need to obtain a 'social license' for generative AI technologies and explore actionable strategies for earning the "right to play" with customers and staff alike. Join us as we explain what a social license is and provide insights into how user and community engagement can give you more certainty to prioritise investments and manage the risk of off-siding the very people you’re trying to support.

Who should attend?

This conversation is ideal for tech leaders and innovators, ethics and compliance officers, policymakers and researchers, or anyone interested in the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.
