Webinar: AI Service Management - Canadian Trustworthiness Opportunities

Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) deployments require mature management practices, that are proactively considered and integrated by design into the solutions. AI has many dimensions and lenses, where cloud computing, software engineering, DEVSECOPS, security, data analytics merges into a challenging-to-manage eco-system of services. Many Canadian and international standards bodies have AI related activities, across these dimensions. Defining and managing the services within the AI eco-system helps optimize outcomes and efficiencies. Steven will provide updates regarding standards efforts, while mapping to itSMF, highlighting some uniquely Canadian opportunities and perspectives.
