Who will actually own AI compliance? Hidden AI & practical challenges organisations are facing

Who is responsible for AI compliance inside an organisation? In this Connecting Women in Digital webinar, Dr. Rimma Dzhusupova explores what the EU AI Act means for companies already using AI across their daily operations. Drawing on her experience in AI deployment, research and compliance, the session looks at hidden AI systems, high-risk use cases, vendor responsibility, internal governance, AI literacy and the role of women in shaping responsible adoption. This session explores: • why many organisations do not know how many AI systems they use • how companies can unintentionally become providers under the EU AI Act • why AI compliance cannot sit with one department alone • how vendor contracts can reduce high-risk exposure • why AI governance must start before the 2027 deadline • and how women’s AI adoption connects to fairness, skills and leadership Part of the Connecting Women in Digital webinar series, advancing evidence-based solutions to close the digital gender gap.
