Clarion AI Partners offers a two-day master class to help organizations build responsible AI strategies. In partnership with the Salt Lake Chamber, the master class is scheduled for March 27 and April 3, 2025.
Salt Lake City, Utah - March 25, 2025
In an era where artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping industries, a new two-day master class is offering leaders and organizations the chance to build responsible AI strategies. Scheduled for March 27 and April 3, 2025, this immersive training experience aims to provide participants with the knowledge and tools to effectively govern, develop, and deploy AI technologies within their organizations.
In cooperation with the Salt Lake Chamber and led by expert lawyer-data scientists, notably Bennett B. Borden, Founder & CEO, of Clarion AI Partners, the master class will provide actionable frameworks that leaders can apply directly to their businesses. The program promises not only to equip participants with practical skills but also to foster meaningful connections with peers from a range of industries facing similar AI challenges.
Bennett Borden is a globally recognized authority on the legal, technological and policy implications of artificial intelligence. As a partner and Chief Data Scientist in Big Law, he has worked in machine learning and AI for 25 years. Borden is an expert on AI regulation and compliance. In October 2024, he founded Clarion AI Partners to help all organizations harness the transformative power of AI. His background in U.S. intelligence, combined with his roles as Chief Data Scientist and Partner at DLA Piper, as well as Founder and Chair of the Information Governance Initiative, has shaped his perspective on how electronic information reflects human thought, choice, and conduct. His strong relationships with U.S. federal and state legislators, regulators, and global government entities have allowed him to play a key role in the creation and passage of several AI regulatory laws.
Borden noted the significance of AI in a recent conversation with TechBuzz. "Our tagline is 'AI for good and AI for All.'" said Borden. "We care very deeply about the transformative effect of AI. It is literally the most transformative and disruptive technology since electricity, we feel. It is that foundational. It is critical for leaders to get ahead of developing frameworks, metrics and measurements."
The four-hour master class will take place at 8:30am at the SLCC Conference Center, Free Enterprise Center Auditorium, at the Miller Campus, 9750 S 300 W, Sandy, UT 84070

Day One: Laying the Foundation for AI Understanding
The first day of the master class, set for March 27, focuses on establishing a solid foundation of AI knowledge. Attendees will learn the key distinctions between various types of AI, including algorithms, classical AI, and generative AI. Real-world applications across industries such as healthcare, finance, HR, education, and advertising will be explored, offering attendees insights into how AI can be leveraged to address sector-specific challenges.
Alongside these core concepts, the day will also tackle the risks associated with AI implementation, such as algorithmic bias and ethical concerns. This focus on risk management sets the stage for the second module of the day, which will give participants a hands-on look at how to evaluate potential AI use cases within their organizations.
Module 2 provides a practical approach to evaluating AI opportunities, with a focus on "deciding how to decide" when it comes to AI integration. This session will help attendees assess the benefits, risks, and compliance considerations of proposed AI use cases. By the end of the module, participants will have a clearer understanding of how to develop tailored risk mitigation strategies specific to their respective industries.
Day Two: Building a Strong AI Governance Framework
Allowing the material of the first class to sink in, the second day of the master class will take place a week later, on April 3. It will shift focus to building effective AI governance programs.
In Module 3, participants will learn how to design an AI Steering Committee that includes the necessary expertise and decision-making power. The module will also guide attendees in creating a comprehensive AI policy and a risk matrix for evaluating AI use cases.
Crucially, the course will emphasize the importance of monitoring and auditing AI initiatives to ensure they comply with emerging regulations and standards. This element of governance is increasingly vital as governments and regulatory bodies introduce new rules to oversee AI technologies.
Module 4 will tackle the practicalities of deploying AI within an organization. Attendees will learn how to identify the most impactful AI use cases, bridge the gap between technical teams and business leaders, and develop metrics to measure success. Additionally, strategies for mitigating deployment risks will be discussed, helping organizations navigate the complexities of putting AI into practice.
Who Should Attend?
This master class is geared toward leaders, decision-makers, and teams who are either developing or refining their AI strategies. It is designed for professionals across industries, and no technical background is required.
Registration is available for both two-day and one-day participation, with attendees required to select their preferred day at the time of registration.
A Critical Investment for the Future of AI
As artificial intelligence continues to play a central role in business transformation, having a clear, responsible AI strategy is no longer optional. With this master class, professionals can expect not just to learn about AI but to gain the tools necessary to guide their organizations through its implementation and governance responsibly and effectively.
This course offers a unique opportunity for organizations to gain practical knowledge in an evolving field, ensuring that AI is used ethically, efficiently, and with a strong emphasis on minimizing risks. The impact of such education could well be the difference between leading the AI revolution or falling behind in an increasingly AI-driven world.
