Your invite: ignorance is no defence (live, 45 minutes)

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Question, Reader,:

If a competitor decided to make your life difficult next week, could they report your firm's AI use to a regulator?

Under the EU AI Act, yes.
Anyone can.

You do not need to be audited, investigated or singled out. One complaint from a rival bidder or an unhappy client, and you may be asked to produce your records.

What state are your records in ?

Most organisations would find it difficult to produce them today. Not through carelessness, but because nobody realised they had to keep records, since the summer.

There are fines in place for breaches and they are not small.

A transparency breach is a €15 million fine, or 3% of global turnover.
There is a second, separate penalty of €7.5 million for handing a regulator incomplete or misleading information in the scramble after the request lands.

This is what 17 September is for. Spend 45 mins with us and get informed answers to the questions you can't easily Google.

Which of your everyday AI habits actually creates exposure? What is the one move that makes a labelling duty disappear entirely? And what does a regulator genuinely expect to see if they ever knock?

Speakers:
Jan Carroll who is widely recognised as a speaker and trainer on AI governance and regulatory compliance, including the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001 (the international standard for AI Management Systems).

Stephen Redmond, AI Strategy lead for the AI Institute.
MC'ed by Emma Marlow, Head of Course Development for the AI Institute.

Live, so bring your own situation to the Q&A.

Someone in your company is already pasting. Come and make it your solved problem, not your next one.

Thursday 17 September, 12pm IST. Online.

The question I can't stop thinking abou

Hi Reader! An architect friend asked me something over coffee a few weeks ago and I still haven't managed to put it down. If AI halves the hours she spends on a project, does that saving go back to the client? Or are they paying her for the skill? She's well ahead of most in her use of AI, she's just asking the uncomfortable question: the better she gets, does that mean invoicing less? Or does it mean invoicing more - more clients, and a premium for being the practice that delivers faster?...

Can we talk about compression burnout?

Hi Reader! Someone asked me to ring them back in half an hour last Friday. So I did a few small jobs first, felt the time was up, reached for the phone, and only fifteen minutes had passed. Half an hour's work done in fifteen, and my body clock was still reading thirty. This is time being compressed. Funny at the time. Less funny by Sunday, once I'd added it to the tiredness, the short fuse and the broken sleep and realised I was closer to burnout than I'd like to admit. Not there yet. Caught...

Four Tuesday mornings is all you need

Hello Reader! By the end of four Tuesday mornings you will be drafting client reports from raw meeting notes in minutes, and you will know exactly what you can and cannot put into an AI tool without creating a problem for yourself.
