This intersective practical workshop will discuss the OCC’s framework for AI model governance and how to work within consumer protection laws. This session will offer practical steps to explain what your LLM is doing, how it is making decisions, and the assurance that the LLM is not making bias decisions.
Meanwhile, in an effort to show transparency, the State of California incoming law (2026) will requires developers of generative AI systems to publish detailed documentation about their training data.
