About this webinar
As the use of generative AI in business spreads rapidly, companies are now expected not only to "use AI," but also to understand which AI tools they use and under what governance structure, and to be able to explain this when needed.
At the same time, you may have questions such as:
- Which companies are covered by the C Certification
- What the C Certification checks
- What companies should put in place first as AI governance
Many of you may have these kinds of questions.
In this webinar, we welcome attorney Kippo Shibayama, who was involved in establishing the C Certification system and serves on its certification committee, as our guest to give an accessible explanation of the background behind the C Certification, the purpose and scope of the system, and the key points companies should keep in mind.
Elith Inc. will present the challenges companies face on the ground in grasping and managing how AI is being used. In the discussion segment, we will explore why a third-party certification mechanism was established and how companies can take their first step in AI governance through the C Certification.
Please join us as an opportunity to correctly understand the purpose and positioning of the C Certification system and to review your own company's AI usage and management structure.
