AI and the Emerging Tech Landscape for Trade Compliance
Bridge the gap between trade compliance practitioners, their understanding of AI, and the export control risks—and benefits—that AI brings.
Artificial Intelligence isn’t on the horizon—it’s already here, reshaping industries and compliance landscapes alike. But with its promise comes risk. What exactly is AI? How does it work? What export control risks does it create, and what opportunities does it unlock?
This webinar explores AI through the lens of export controls: the risks, the rewards, and the practical steps organizations must take to stay ahead. From foundational concepts to real-world use cases, you’ll come away with clarity on how AI and export compliance intersect—and why this matters for global business, security, and innovation.
Agenda:
- Why AI adoption is accelerating
- What it is and how it works
- Dissecting an AI app - practical export control considerations
- What AI can do for export compliance - top use cases
- What export controls must do for AI - top risks
