Co-work Fridays @ SQCo - The Stage: Responsible AI in practice for Agentic Startups
Friday @ SQ Collective
The Stage @ 1.30pm
The Stage is a short, open-format session where builders and founders share something they are actively working on. A workflow, a technical breakdown, a lesson learned, or just a topic keeping them up at night.
The goal is to spark ideas you can try immediately after, during the same afternoon. After the session ends, most people simply open their laptops again and continue working.
Title: Responsible AI in practice
Speaker: Nuri Purswani

She is interested in Responsible AI, AI governance, workforce analytics, and ESG, with a focus on helping organizations think critically about the opportunities and risks of AI.

What this session is about:
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in decisions that affect people, organizations face an important challenge: how do we move from high-level ethical principles to meaningful action? This session explores what Responsible AI looks like in practice, with a focus on emerging developments in AI governance, regulation, and accountability. We will discuss governance frameworks for large language models (LLMs), evolving guidance on Agentic AI systems, and the growing expectations around transparency, oversight, risk management, and human accountability.
The session will also examine the real-world tensions between innovation, regulation, and societal impact, encouraging participants to think critically when designing, deploying, and governing AI systems.
What the Audience Will Leave With
A practical understanding of Responsible AI beyond theoretical principles.
Awareness of emerging guidance and governance considerations for Agentic AI and LLM-based systems.
Actionable questions and ideas they can apply to their own AI initiatives and governance discussions.
About Co-working Fridays
Friday is our open co-working day. People come to work on their own projects, take breaks together, and usually stay through the afternoon. It's quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led.
You can arrive anytime from 10AM. Most people show up after lunch and settle in before 1.30pm. Bring your laptop. Grab any open seat. Stay as long as you like.
At 1.30pm, we pause work briefly for a shared session called The Stage, then everyone goes back to working.
