Webinar: Build Your AI Policy in 60 Minutes: A Hands-On Session for EDO Leaders

Description

This 1-hour virtual workshop, hosted in partnership with the Michigan Economic Developers Association (MEDA), equips Michigan’s economic development leaders to confidently create a customized AI policy for their organization. Many EDOs hesitate to use AI due to uncertainty around compliance, ethical use, and governance. This session removes those barriers by guiding participants through a clear, repeatable AI workflow that results in a finished, organization-specific AI policy — ready for internal review or adoption.

Big Picture Goal: Accelerate responsible AI adoption across Michigan’s economic development ecosystem by giving leaders the clarity, confidence, and compliance structure they need to move forward safely.

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

✅ Leave with a personalized AI policy draft tailored to their organization’s needs. 

✅ Understand the key elements of effective AI governance and responsible use. 

✅ Gain the confidence to champion AI enablement within their teams. 

✅ Have an actionable next step — to refine and implement their policy internally or deepen their AI readiness through the AI Performance School for EDOs at SimpleEDO.ai
