Leveraging AI for Responsible Distribution Programs
Alex Smith, E21
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how organizations manage compliance, efficiency, and risk—but how can it be applied responsibly within distribution programs? This interactive workshop explores practical, real-world applications of AI in support of Responsible Distribution initiatives. Participants will gain an overview of today’s leading AI tools and platforms, along with guidance on selecting solutions that align with operational and compliance goals. The session will also address evolving workforce expectations, including how to establish clear policies for acceptable AI use. Through case-based examples tied to key Responsible Distribution Codes, attendees will see how AI can work with or against supporting continuous improvement efforts. Whether you are just beginning to explore AI or looking to refine your approach, this session offers actionable insights to help you integrate AI responsibly and effectively into your program.
