What is AI Governance Forum?
Building Trust in Artificial Intelligence
The AI Governance Forum is a multi-stakeholders platform, open to all interested parties and dedicated to build Human-Trust in AI for the benefit of all.

The AI Governance Forum aims at tackling the concerns and challenges raised by AI on ethics, safety and security, data handling and bias, regulations, accountability, transparency, privacy, and impact on workforce. It contribute to build an open artificial intelligence for the benefit of all.
