AI Act in Action and AI governance sessions

The EU AI Act has passed. What now?

The Congress agenda will feature artificial intelligence-themed sessions to help you learn how to adapt and improve AI operations. Join us for the AI Act in Action, an important track consisting of six sessions that focus on the EU AI Act’s legislation requirements, potential risks and challenges from the law’s passage, and how to ensure compliance.

AI does not stop there — check out our other AI sessions to plunge into AI ethics, applications in advertising, third-party management, workplace applications, role in health care data management, and more.

In Anu Bradford’s new book, “Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology”, explores how three competing frameworks for regulating technology (the American market-driven model, the Chinese state-driven model, and the European rights-driven model) will shape the global digital landscape — and the future of liberal democracy.
