AI Governance Considerations: Mitigating the Risks and Maximizing the Opportunities

The use of AI in the practice of investor relations has the potential to drive efficiency and help IROs do their jobs – but also the potential to be harmful and run afoul of regulatory or legal constraints.  This session will explore how investor relations practitioners can help their companies implement the responsible and strategic use of AI without attracting unwanted attention from your General Counsel or legal team, including how to:

  • Make the case for the use of AI
  • Create an AI usage policy that protects company data and follows disclosure rules
  • Develop a governance framework in partnership with legal and other key stakeholders
  • Avoid common governance, legal and regulatory pitfalls
