AI Governance & Ethics

As AI becomes embedded in business operations, organisations face growing pressure to use it responsibly. This programme gives participants a practical framework for governing AI — covering policy, risk, bias, data privacy, accountability, and the ethical principles that guide responsible AI deployment in a Malaysian and global context.

Modules

Why AI Governance Matters
The risks of ungoverned AI use — reputational, legal, and operational. Real cases where AI caused harm and what organisations could have done differently.

Ethical Principles for AI
Fairness, transparency, accountability, and human oversight. How global frameworks (EU AI Act, UNESCO, OECD) translate into practical organisational commitments.

AI Bias and Fairness
Where bias enters AI systems — in data, design, and deployment. How to identify bias risks in tools your organisation uses and what mitigation looks like in practice.

Data Privacy and AI
PDPA obligations when using AI tools. What data should not be fed into AI systems, how to assess vendor data practices, and what consent and transparency requirements apply.

Building an AI Policy for Your Organisation
What an organisational AI policy covers, who owns it, and how to implement it. Practical templates and decision frameworks adapted for Malaysian organisations.

AI Risk Assessment
How to evaluate the risk level of an AI use case before deployment. Risk categories, red lines, and escalation paths when AI use raises ethical concerns.

Human Oversight and Accountability
Why humans must remain in the loop for consequential decisions. How to design AI-assisted processes that preserve accountability and allow for meaningful review.

Final Activity
