The Background of the Seminar

Since the introduction of ChatGPT in late 2022, AI technology has been evolving at a rapid pace, quickly becoming an integral part of various business operations. This unstoppable progression hints at a future where AI not only transforms our daily lives but also reshapes the business landscape. However, with the implementation and use of AI come challenges around ethics, safety, and legal risks that cannot be overlooked.

To alleviate these concerns, the international standard ISO 42001, or AIMS, is established as a powerful tool for demonstrating responsible management and utilization of AI. As this standard gains traction, it will enable companies to foster trust with customers and society through its implementation.

To enhance awareness and knowledge about the requirements and benefits of AIMS, the seminar was organized, and the footage is now available for viewing. Participants will have access to full recording of the session along with downloadable materials, arming them with the latest information to navigate AI implementation intelligently.
