Description

Learn why AI Governance is one of the fastest-emerging career paths in AI and how your existing skills may already be relevant.

Women Tech Leaders in Conversation is a special OLLMOO Career Café fireside chat format featuring candid conversations with senior women technology leaders who share the lessons, challenges and unwritten rules that shaped their careers.

When people think about careers in AI, they often picture data scientists, engineers, or machine learning specialists. But as AI becomes embedded in everyday business operations, organisations increasingly need professionals who can ensure these systems are trustworthy, transparent, and fit for purpose.

In this fireside chat, Maryna Didkovska, Senior Director, AI Governance & Quality Engineering at EPAM, will share how her background in quality engineering, software assurance, and AI led her to one of the fastest-growing areas in technology today: AI Governance.

Together we'll explore the practical realities of the role, the skills organisations are looking for, and why professionals from many different disciplines may be better positioned for these opportunities than they realise.

Who is this for?

  • Professionals exploring emerging career paths in AI
  • Engineers, data, product, and quality professionals
  • Risk, compliance, legal, and governance specialists
  • Leaders responsible for AI adoption and oversight
  • Anyone interested in the human side of AI
