Training on AI Ethics Board Establishment and Governance
Course Overview
AI is no longer just a technology decision it’s a governance, trust, and leadership challenge.
Across Africa and the Middle East, organizations are adopting AI in public services, healthcare, finance, HR, security, and customer engagement. But without clear ethical oversight, AI systems can reinforce bias, violate privacy, erode public trust, and expose institutions to legal and reputational risk.
This course focuses on one critical solution: establishing a strong AI Ethics Board.
You’ll learn how to design, structure, and govern an AI Ethics Board that is credible, practical, and aligned with your organizational realities not a symbolic committee that exists only on paper. The training speaks directly to government institutions, NGOs, regulators, and corporates that want to deploy AI responsibly while maintaining public confidence and strategic control.
