Beyond the black box:Hard Truths in AI Policy
Every slide deck now features “Responsible AI,” but what separates a credible program from corporate ethics-washing? As AI moves from experimental to essential, the gap between abstract policy and product reality is widening.
Join us as we go Beyond the Black Box to confront the hard truths of AI accountability. In this session, we will demystify the distinct responsibilities of those who build AI versus those who deploy it, translating "safety-by-design" from a vague concept into tangible product metrics.
What we will explore:
Operationalising Trust: Moving beyond reactive moderation to build policy-driven risk assessments directly into the foundation of your AI initiatives.
The Accountability Gap: Navigating liability and the practicalities of real-world harm within the unique Indian regulatory context.
Future-Ready Talent: Assembling the cross-functional teams required to lead AI governance over the next decade.

An LSE LL.M. scholar and a recognized authority on the intersection of technology, regulation, and society, Kriti is known for her "first-principles" approach to navigating the world’s most complex digital landscapes.
Moderator: Sreenath Govindarajan, a business-oriented legal researcher specialising in the integration of AI within Digital Public Infrastructure.
