Event
Trustworthy AI in Practice: Scaling Innovation with Governance & Operations
An invite-only event co-hosted by ETH AI Center and LatticeFlow AI.
Learn how industry leaders are turning AI governance into operational reality, scaling innovation with control, clarity, and trust.
Introduction
From AI Principles to Real-World Enterprise Control
AI programs stall when governance isn't actionable. Risk frameworks remain abstract. Technical teams lack clear guidance. Business leaders can't prove control.
This event brings together senior leaders from across the AI lifecycle to address these gaps head-on. Through expert talks, a real-world case study, and a high-level panel, you'll gain clear insights into how leading organizations are operationalizing AI governance to make trust measurable, risks manageable, and innovation scalable.
