The term “artificial Intelligence” was first coined by John McCarthy, one of the founders of the discipline, in 1955. He was a young Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Dartmouth College in America, where he organised a summer workshop – known as the 1956 Dartmouth conference – to bring together a group of experts to develop ideas about “thinking machines”.
So the idea of artificial intelligence has been around for a while but it may surprise you to learn that there is no single agreed-upon definition of what AI is.
It is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the capacity of computers or other machines to exhibit or simulate intelligent behaviour”. And it’s defined by the UK Government as: “technologies with the ability to perform tasks that would otherwise require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition and language translation”.
A broad definition that we often see used is that AI refers to “computers completing tasks near, at or above human levels of achievement”.
To learn more about what AI is and how to make use of it, take a look at our course that explains it from scratch.

Our clients include businesses and corporations, public sector organisations and not for profit organisations. We work with organisations of all sizes, and across various business sectors, to help them develop and implement ethical and responsible AI governance practices.
Our clients are also people who come to us individually for help with understanding the opportunities and risks of AI, as well as our Executive Education students.
Sure! Take a look at this video for an explanation of large language models – ChatGPT in particular – in less than 3 minutes. We’ve created a new short and affordable course so you can learn about generative AI and keep your skills up to date. Enrol here and plug the gaps in your knowledge.
From time to time we have a Chatbot on this website that is powered by ChatGPT so you can ask questions and see what answers you get. Our bot is tuned so it should only converse about AI education, AI ethics and AI governance. But beware, bots can be tricked and they don’t always give true answers. We monitor it and switch it off when it doesn’t perform as it should!
Just like there’s no one definition of what AI is, there’s no single definition of what Responsible AI is. At AI Governance we’ve consolidated the best of many frameworks into this Responsible AI Framework. Get in touch if you’d like our help to implement Responsible AI in your organisation.
Yes of course! Using our Responsible AI Framework we’ve developed our policy. Take a look at it here and ask us if you’d like our help to develop and implement a framework that’s right for your organisation.
We offer comprehensive AI training programmes designed for all organisational levels. Our training portfolio includes:
- AI Literacy Training for staff at all levels to understand AI fundamentals and practical applications
- Board Development Training focused on strategic AI oversight and governance responsibilities
- Framework Implementation Training to help teams deploy AI governance frameworks effectively
- Executive Education covering AI strategy, risk management, and responsible AI leadership
- Custom Training Programmes tailored to your organisation’s specific needs, industry context, and AI maturity level.
All our training combines practical exercises with real-world case studies to ensure immediately applicable knowledge.
Our AI literacy training is designed for people at all levels who work – or want to work – with or alongside AI systems. This includes frontline staff who use AI tools daily, managers who oversee AI-assisted teams, technical staff who implement AI solutions, and senior leaders who make strategic AI decisions. No technical background is required – we tailor content to each audience’s needs, from basic AI concepts and practical applications to understanding AI’s impact on your specific role. The training helps everyone in your organisation speak a common AI language and understand both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with AI adoption
Our training sessions are flexible and designed to fit your organisation’s schedule and learning objectives. We offer: Half-day workshops (3-4 hours) for focused topics like AI literacy basics or specific governance frameworks; Full-day intensives (6-8 hours) covering comprehensive AI governance implementation; Multi-day programmes (2-5 days) for in-depth board development or complete framework rollouts; and Modular series delivered over several weeks to allow for implementation between sessions. We also provide ongoing support and refresher sessions. All formats can be delivered in-person, virtually, or in hybrid mode to accommodate your team’s needs.
Yes, we offer both online and in-person training options to suit your organisation’s preferences and circumstances. Our in-person training provides immersive, hands-on experiences ideal for team building and complex topics. Our online training uses interactive platforms with breakout rooms, live polls, and collaborative exercises to maintain high engagement. We also offer hybrid formats combining the best of both approaches. All delivery modes include the same high-quality content, practical exercises, and expert instruction. We’ve found that online training works exceptionally well for geographically distributed teams, while in-person sessions are preferred for board development and senior leadership programmes.
Our board development training equips board members and senior leaders with the knowledge to provide effective AI governance oversight. The programme covers: understanding AI fundamentals without requiring technical expertise; strategic AI governance frameworks and best practices; board responsibilities for AI risk management and ethics; regulatory landscape and compliance requirements; questions boards should ask about AI initiatives; practical case studies of AI governance successes and failures; and tools for evaluating AI proposals and monitoring implementations. Sessions are highly interactive with real-world scenarios tailored to your industry. We provide board-ready materials including governance checklists, policy templates, and ongoing support to help your board confidently guide your organisation’s AI journey.
Yes, framework implementation training is one of our core specialties. We provide hands-on training to help your teams effectively deploy AI governance frameworks in your organisation. This includes: detailed walkthrough of frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, EU AI Act requirements, or ISO standards; practical workshops to adapt frameworks to your specific context; training on conducting AI risk assessments and impact evaluations; guidance on creating governance documentation and policies; and implementation roadmaps with clear milestones. Our training goes beyond theory – we work alongside your team to apply frameworks to real AI projects in your organisation, ensuring practical competence and confidence in framework application.
Our training and consultancy services complement each other but serve different purposes. Training focuses on building your team’s capabilities – we teach you and your staff basic AI literacy, how to implement AI governance, conduct risk assessments, and apply frameworks yourselves. Training is about knowledge transfer and skill development, empowering your organisation to manage AI governance independently. Consultancy provides expert guidance on specific challenges – we work alongside you to develop strategies, create governance structures, or solve complex AI governance problems. Many clients start with training to build foundational knowledge, then engage consultancy for implementation support. We often combine both: training your team while providing consultancy on strategic decisions, ensuring both capability building and practical outcomes.
Booking training is straightforward. Contact us via email at enquiries@aigovernance.co.uk or call +44 (0)7858 908046 to discuss your organisation’s needs. We’ll arrange a consultation to understand your current AI maturity, specific challenges, team composition, and learning objectives. Based on this, we’ll recommend appropriate training programmes and delivery formats. We’ll provide a detailed proposal including content outlines, timings, pricing, and expected outcomes. Once approved, we’ll work with you to schedule sessions that fit your team’s availability. We typically require 2-4 weeks lead time for standard training and 4-8 weeks for custom programmes, though we can accommodate urgent requests where possible. Take a look at our services to see the range of our offering.
Yes we spend a lot of time speaking at events! From webinars and online workshops to in person conferences and Board development sessions, we believe it’s important to inspire as many people as possible to understand what AI is, how it could be used in their organisation and what the ethical issues are they need to be aware of. If you have an event where we could add value, please contact us to discuss your requirements or fill in the form on this page to let us know your requirements.
