How Would I Know If I Were A Robot@Christmas?

One small, seasonal task was spending 12 hours undertaking the CISI’s Certificate In Ethical Artificial Intelligence, below:

This is all part of the 695th Lord Mayor’s Ethical AI Initiative. This course applies to people working in finance (of all sorts) and technology. You can find and take the course here, http://www.cisi.org/ai:

Members (£60)
The course for members comprises four mandatory modules with online tests (8 hours total) and an additional 4 hours of flexible CPD in AI learning via the CISI Learning Platform.

  • Ethical AI and Professional Codes of Conduct
  • Risk Management in AI
  • Strategic Approaches to AI
  • Tactical Development of AI (Executive Management)
  • Additional four hours of CPD in AI learning via the CISI Learning Platform

Non-members (£150)
The non-member course comprises five mandatory modules with online tests (10 hours) and a further module of curated AI learning (2 hours) for a total of 12 hours of learning.

  • AI – An introduction
  • Ethical AI and Professional Codes of Conduct
  • Risk Management in AI
  • Strategic Approaches to AI
  • Tactical Development of AI (Executive Management)
  • Further module containing curated AI learning (videos/articles)

We anticipate rolling out similar courses in several other sectors over 2024. Perhaps completing the course over the seasonal break is a sign of a robotic approach to holidays (Batteries Not Included) or, better, a resolved start to a Connect To Prosper New Year!

Kimchi

One of the earliest highlights of being Lord Mayor was hosting the President of South Korea at our State Banquet on 21 November. Imagine my delight when a week later we received two generous boxes of kimchi, some 30 packages.

It turns out that our City community enfolds many kimchi devotees like myself. With alacrity, they were all gone within ten days! Now on to mustard from the French president…

First Off The AI Chocks

It was great to award The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) Certificate in Ethical Artificial Intelligence to our first student, Philip Chamberlain. Philip works in Saudi Arabia but flew to Dubai where we were attending COP 28 to receive the award in person. Rapid development of Al technology means that ethical considerations must be taken into account from the beginning of the design process. Over 1000 students and 125 businesses have signed up so far to understand the ethical and management issues in the deployment of AI. Easy to sign up for the course www.cisi.org.ai.
