As AI regulation accelerates globally, organizations are increasingly expected to understand and address the potential impacts of AI on people and society. But what does a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) actually look like in practice?

Drawing on experience conducting human rights and AI impact assessments across a range of industries and technologies, this session provides a practical guide to identifying, assessing, and prioritizing fundamental rights risks in AI systems. We will explore how risks can emerge across the AI lifecycle, from data collection and model development to deployment, governance, and end-user interactions, and discuss common challenges organizations face when translating impact assessment mandates into actionable processes.

Attendees will learn how to identify affected stakeholders, prioritize risks, and integrate human rights considerations into AI governance programs. Whether you are preparing for emerging regulatory requirements or looking to strengthen responsible AI practices, this session offers real-world lessons, practical frameworks, and common pitfalls to avoid.
