Hi! PARIS Meet Up on the AI Act
One year after its introduction, the AI Act is defining how artificial intelligence is developed, deployed, and regulated across Europe. Designed to ensure AI is safe, trustworthy, and aligned with fundamental rights, the regulation introduces a risk-based framework, compliance obligations, and enforcement mechanisms.
But as organizations navigate this evolving regulatory framework, key questions remain. How have businesses, research institutions, and policymakers adapted? What aspects of the regulation are proving effective, and where are challenges still emerging? How will its implementation impact AI innovation and competitiveness in Europe?
Join us for presentations and a panel discussion of Hi! PARIS researchers and business representatives in the domain!
