At Royal London, we are currently developing a strategy and roadmap for the adoption of AI solutions. Through this work, we have identified opportunities to improve organisational effectiveness, increase financial resilience and support key business outcomes.

Effective risk management is a fundamental part of delivering our strategy, and to support the safe and responsible adoption of AI we have identified the need for an AI Governance Framework. In this session we will discuss:
(1) How we classify the opportunities, through our four ‘value plays’;
(2) The main AI-related risks that apply to our business, with reference to the EU AI Act;
(3) Key governance components that we are putting in place to mitigate those risks, as part of our AI Governance Framework.
