Building Defensible AI Governance Under EN 18286

Join Danny Manimbo (Managing Principal, Schellman) and Kevin Schawinski (CEO & Co-founder, Modulos) for a practical session on building AI governance that’s defensible under EN 18286.

🔹 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗼 (Managing Principal, Schellman) leads Schellman’s AI and ISO practices. Schellman was the first ANAB-accredited certification body for ISO/IEC 42001, so Danny brings the auditor’s view of what “conformity” has to look like in evidence.

🔹 𝗞𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗶 (CEO & Co-founder, Modulos) leads the Modulos AI governance platform, which helps organizations put frameworks into practice. Kevin brings the operator’s view of what conformity looks like when it’s built into day-to-day governance.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿:

𝟭. 𝗘𝗨 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀: what they are, how they give providers a route to presumed conformity with the EU AI Act, and which organizations in the AI supply chain need to pay attention.

𝟮. 𝗘𝗡 𝟭𝟴𝟮𝟴𝟲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲: the standard’s structure and quality management system requirements, mapped to the obligations they support for risk and compliance teams.

𝟯. 𝗘𝗡 𝟭𝟴𝟮𝟴𝟲 𝘃𝘀. 𝗜𝗦𝗢/𝗜𝗘𝗖 𝟰𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟭: comparison of the scope, structure, and audit approach; where the two overlap, where they diverge, and how to use both without duplicating work.

𝟰. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: the AI Act’s phased application dates after the Digital Omnibus, and the expected timing of the remaining harmonized standards.

𝟱. 𝗘𝗡 𝟭𝟴𝟮𝟴𝟲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: a walkthrough of how Modulos turns the standard’s QMS requirements into a working, evidence-backed governance program.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱: Compliance, risk, legal, and AI governance teams at organizations providing or deploying AI systems in or into the EU. This is especially relevant if you hold, or are working toward, ISO/IEC 42001 certification and want to know what EN 18286 adds.
