- 2026 02: AI Policy Masterclass: Building a Clear, Confident Governance Framework for Responsible AI Use (February Webinar)
- Track: Business | ABOUT THIS SESSION: Artificial intelligence is rapidly finding its way into background screening operations, but many organizations lack a clear way to decide where AI should be used, who approves it, and how risks are managed over time. A well-designed AI policy helps organizations move faster with confidence by providing consistency, accountability, and defensible guardrails for AI use. This practical, workshop-style session focuses on AI policy as a governance tool?showing how it can support responsible innovation while reducing legal and operational risk. Attendees will learn the core components of an effective AI policy, what belongs in policy versus process, and how regulators and plaintiffs? lawyers tend to scrutinize AI governance in practice. The session will also explore how to tailor oversight based on different AI use cases, rather than applying one-size-fits-all rules. Participants will leave with a clear policy framework, key decision points, and a governance checklist they can take back to internal stakeholders or counsel to finalize responsibly. | Sponsor: Affirm Background Screening
