Enzai joins the IAPP as a Foundational Supporter

Earlier this month Enzai attended the International Association of Privacy Professionals’ (IAPP) Global AI Governance Conference in Boston. Co-Founders Ryan Donnelly and Jack Carlisle were thrilled to attend the conference as such a pivotal moment for AI governance. The recent US Executive Order on AI, the multinational Bletchley Declaration following the UK’s AI Safety Summit, and final movements towards the EU AI Act have combined to put AI governance at the top of the global agenda.

What is the IAPP?

The IAPP is the largest and most comprehensive global information privacy community and resource. Founded in 2000, the IAPP is a non-profit organisation that helps define, promote and improve the privacy profession globally. Earlier this year, the IAPP launched the IAPP Artificial Intelligence Governance Center to support the rapidly growing need for qualified and well-trained professionals to ensure AI systems are developed, integrated and deployed in line with emerging AI laws and policies and in a way we can trust. Enzai is delighted to join as a foundational supporter of the AI Governance Center.

“As AI spreads across every industry, there is an urgent need for professionals to manage the complex risks of this transformative technology,” said J. Trevor Hughes, President and CEO of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). “IAPP research shows that 60% of organizations have either already established an AI governance function or will likely establish one in the next 12 months, but only 20% of organizations have a designated AI governance professional. We cannot allow this workforce gap to continue to grow. There is a paramount need for individuals and organizations to invest in their AI governance policies and programs to ensure AI fulfills its potential to serve society in positive and productive ways”

We firmly believe that the subject of AI governance and compliance will be one that privacy professionals continue to grapple with over the coming years, due both to its importance in a world of rapidly growing AI usage, and the difficulty of regulating such a fast-advancing technology.

Enzai combines legal, software, and data scientific expertise making us extremely well placed to help CISOs, Data Protection Officers, Chief Privacy Officers and other relevant leaders to get to grips with the new arena of AI governance and help them to manage the risks as effectively as possible.

Enzai looks forward to giving businesses the certainty they need to build, deploy and use AI with confidence.
