Online and in person (European Parliament (Spinelli 1E2)) event on “The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act – Building trust in EU innovation” to take place on 10 October 2023 from 16.30 a.m. to 18.30 p.m.

When it comes to the ground-breaking opportunities and opportunities that AI can offer to citizens, the European Commission must also take into account potential negative impacts. With the AI Act, the Commission developed a human-centric approach to AI solutions in order to find the right balance between innovation and safety.

To maintain the balance, it is important to ensure the cooperation of all stakeholders, as well as the exchange of good practices to create an effective regulatory framework for AI technologies and their oversight in Europe.

The event seeks to serve as a platform to exchange views on these priority areas and discuss how AI systems in Europe should be addressed.
