All together now: Why collaboration is key

Don’t do it alone. Before you get started, gathering the right set of stakeholders to form an "AI roundtable" is critical to your success. Because of the inherent opportunities and risks involved with AI, it’s important to have a wide range of viewpoints to help make well-rounded decisions. While every organization will be different and the make-up of your AI roundtable will be unique, there are a few critical organizational members you need to ensure have a seat at the table.

Legal, Compliance, and Privacy teams to help assess legal risks and understand AI and data regulations and usage
Chief Data Officer / Data Office participation to help with all data-related matters, including accessibility of trusted data
Business Unit leaders who may have an interest in AI usage that could impact their teams

Some organizations may even have an Ethics Chief (an increasingly important position) and even members of HR to assess impacts to employees. Regardless of your organizational structure, it’s essential to ensure that you collaborate on AI initiatives from the start.
