Smart, safe and scalable: Building compliant AI from day one

Wed 17 Sept 2025 / 15:00 - 16:00 (BST), 16:00 - 17:00 (CEST)

About the event

As AI becomes deeply embedded in product and growth strategies, startups face a critical challenge: how to build intelligent systems that are not only effective but also safe, secure and built to scale responsibly. From data governance to explainability, startups must navigate a growing set of expectations around transparency, bias, and safety. So how do you embed trust and compliance into your AI stack from the start? What does good governance look like when you're still building your team and product? And how can you avoid costly rebuilds down the line?
