Safeguards for Facing AI Challenges – Reimagining How to Apply Foundational Recordkeeping Principles
12:15 PM - 1:15 PMAbstract
Face AI challenges head-on with recordkeeping safeguards. The guiding principles of the ARMA Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles (The Principles) help identify needed safeguards to evaluate recordkeeping solutions for challenges such as AI. Attendees will gain an understanding of The Principles and ARMA’s Information Governance Implementation Model (IGIMv2.0). Attendees will also explore using these tools as safeguards for moving Records Management and Information Governance (IG) programs forward in today's information landscape.
Attendees will benefit from:
Looking at The Principles and the IGIMv2.0 as tools for building a recordkeeping program and an IG framework, and as tools for addressing the challenges of today's landscape, including AI.
Takeaways will include:
1) Aligning guiding principles from The Principles and the IGIMv2.0 to program solutions and solution technology.
2) Identifying challenges and risks in today's landscape for recordkeeping.
3) Identifying safeguards to mitigate risks.
