    Description
    This talk will focus on the importance of human oversight, ethical frameworks and policies in shaping AI developments going forward. We'll discuss the risks of biased data, the need for transparency, and why a “human in the loop” approach to data governance is critical to ensuring AI initiatives are high quality, trusted and serve their intended purpose.

    This session will have all presentators physically at place, and allow for questions to be sent online, with a digital moderator to assist the moderator in attendance in Norway. In order for the digital audience to be able to participate on a level with the physical attendees, the moderator will encourage the digital attendees to participate by asking questions in a chat during the session. The physical attentees will also get that message, in order for the discussion to provide insights and dialogue. The time table for this slot is maximum 30 minutes, not allowing tome for an extended QA. We will therefore allow only 5 minutes towards the end for questions online and in attendance. The moderator will in the introduction encourage questions to be voiced at the end of session, and will allow for questions by raising the arm for physical attendees, and throug the digital moderator, allow for digital attendees to raise their hand through Zoom-features.
