GÉANT CSM24 Webinar - Responsible and ethical use of AI: challenges and insights

Artificial intelligence isn't a new concept: It's been around for over 50 years. However the prevalence of AI and Generative AI has grown significantly in recent years in part due to the vast amounts of storage and computer power we now have readily available.

Some organisations have embraced the use of AI, whereas others are cautious about the balance of benefits versus risks associated with its use.

In this CyberSecMonth webinar, we will look at the challenges we face surrounding ethical use of modern AI and how organisations can avoid pitfalls associated with AI usage and AI generated content.
