Kto vlastní AI v rámci organizácie? — Operatívna zodpovednosť 3 Mar Who Owns AI Inside an Organisation? — Operational Responsibility
Petra Fernandes
Registration
The webinar focuses on the practical establishment of operational accountability and ownership of AI systems under the EU AI Act. The discussion will address the allocation of roles between providers and deployers, senior management responsibility, internal monitoring, documentation, mapping of AI systems, and the management of dependencies on third parties and foundation models. Attention will also be given to challenges such as “shadow AI” and fragmented ownership within organisations. More information
