SUMMARY:AI Policy Development for Business Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations are already using AI. Few have a written policy that clearly defines how it should and should not be used.\n\n \n\nIn this working session\, you will draft the foundation of a practical internal AI Use Policy tailored to your organization. You will move beyond general guidelines and clarify the direction that protects your people\, your data\, and your reputation while allowing innovation to continue responsibly.\n\n \n\nUsing a structured policy template\, you will define:\n\n\n	A clear purpose statement and values anchor\n	The scope of approved and prohibited AI use\n	Data boundaries using a Green\, Yellow\, and Red framework\n	Acceptable and unacceptable use expectations\n	Roles\, responsibilities\, and reporting structure\n	A review cycle to keep your policy current\n\n\n \n\nYou will leave with a policy draft you can refine\, formalize\, and implement within your organization.\n\n \n\nPlease bring a laptop or tablet if you would like to draft directly within the policy template during the session.\n\n\n\nThis is Part 2 of a four-part series the Aurora Alliance is hosting in 2026.\n\n\n\nMeet the Speaker: Dr. Jean Hess\, Human-Centered AI Strategist\n\nDr. Jean Hess is a strategist\, educator\, and internationally recognized thought leader known for helping organizations make sense of artificial intelligence with clarity and care. Drawing on decades of experience leading large-scale initiatives across education\, technology\, and organizational systems\, she works with leaders to integrate AI in ways that are ethical\, practical\, and human-centered. \n\n\n\nDr. Hess is trusted for her ability to turn complex ideas into clear\, actionable guidance particularly where communication\, decision-making\, and accountability intersect. Rather than focusing on tools or hype\, her work helps organizations understand how AI fits into their culture\, workflows\, and responsibilities\, strengthening trust and consistency as they scale.\n\n\n\nKnown for her warmth\, insight\, and grounded approach\, Dr. Hess brings calm leadership to conversations about AI\, helping organizations move forward thoughtfully in a rapidly changing landscape.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAurora Alliance Event Registration Refund Policy\n\nRegistrants are eligible for a full refund if their written request is received at least 14 calendar days prior to the scheduled event date.
