Understanding AI Governance and Data Ethics for Design Teams

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in design teams is becoming increasingly prevalent. However, the transition from individual experimentation with AI tools to team-based applications brings forth significant challenges. Recognizing this, C&R Group is hosting an enlightening online seminar titled "AI Governance & Data Ethics Introduction" on June 20, 2026, aimed at creatives and managers navigating these complexities.

The seminar will feature renowned UX designer Matt Penna, who possesses over 25 years of experience working with major brands like Bank of America, Disney, and Volvo. His extensive background includes not only UX design but also music production and web design, making him a multifaceted speaker for this critical topic. Matt's passion for AI in design and his commitment to ethical practices will offer valuable insights to attendees.

Why AI Governance Matters Now

As design teams begin to harness AI more broadly, they may encounter various uncertainties concerning data management and ethical usage. Here are some common concerns:

• - How much client material or research data is permissible for AI utilization?
• - What protocols should be established to safeguard personal information contained in user interviews?
• - How can teams standardize AI usage when individual members adopt different practices?
• - What happens when clients inquire about the rules governing AI application in projects?

Through the seminar, participants will gain clarity on these issues and develop a framework for implementing practical AI governance tailored for their teams. Matt aims to demystify the "convenience yet uncertainty" surrounding AI usage by providing practical strategies for ongoing application in design work.
