About this event

  • 4 hours 30 minutes

In March, the EU AI Act was formally approved, marking a significant milestone in shaping the future of Responsible AI around the world, with the objective of advancing safe AI development and adoption while safeguarding the fundamental rights of EU citizens and positioning the EU as the global standard-setter for AI regulation.

Now, we explore the latest advancements in AI innovation, as industry leaders and policymakers come together to discuss the legal, ethical, and economic landscape of AI, addressing its challenges, opportunities, and strategies.

From commenting on AI regulation in Europe, to exploring the importance of data spaces in the AI lifecycle, we will also delve into the technological and governance implications of the regulation on products and, ultimately, the future of AI.
