Governing AI with Confidence: Evidence to Explain and Defend AI Decisions | Presented By Adelle Ford From Recordkeeping Innovation

4pm – 4.25pm AEDT, 21 October 2026 ‐ 25 mins

Stream 3 | The Trade Arena

When an AI-assisted decision goes wrong, can your organisation prove how it was made, what it drew on and who signed off? For most, the honest answer is no. As AI moves into everyday business decisions, the real risk is not whether the technology works, it is whether its use can be explained, evidenced and defended after the fact.

This session sets out the evidence organisations need to capture across the AI lifecycle, from risk classification and data governance to human oversight, testing, security and change management, and the practical questions leaders, information governance professionals and system owners should be asking to keep AI use responsible, transparent and defensible.

At its core, this is an evidence and assurance challenge. Can you demonstrate what the system was built to do, what informed it, who was accountable, and how risk and change were managed over time?

Attendees will leave with a practical guide providing a checklist of the evidence needed to explain, control and defend AI-assisted decisions.
