Today, the Institute is busier than ever helping member organizations understand and implement AI at a tactical level through system and organizational assessments, examining policy and governance, and building a certification program. It’s challenging, exciting, and important work where the promise of this technology needs to be tempered with careful ethics and risk assessments.

Kirsten Rulf is a leading expert in AI theory, ethics, policy and practice, and leads the Financial Institutions team for BCG X.
