Workshop Title:

What Could Go Wrong? A Practical Workshop on Ethical AI and Data Risk

Description:

AI systems are only as trustworthy as the data, governance, and assumptions behind them. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore real-world-inspired AI use cases then apply the Data Ethics Canvas to assess risks, surface blind spots, and identify opportunities for stronger ethical design.

Through small-group collaboration and scenario-based discussion, we’ll ask:

What could go wrong with the data, decisions, or impact of this tool?

Whose interests are represented or left out?

How can organizations build practical, proactive data policies before problems arise?

No technical background is required, just a willingness to think critically and collaboratively about the real-world challenges of AI and Data Governance.
