Fact-checking webinar : AI, is the EU really lagging behind ?
The Académie Notre Europe and the Alumni Association of the Académie Notre Europe are continuing their joint “Fact-checking” webinar series, dedicated to unpacking major European issues. This third webinar will focus on artificial intelligence and the challenges the European Union is facing.
Open to everyone. Join us at 7:00 PM on Wednesday the 18th of March.
Faced with American and Chinese giants, the European Union has made a unique choice: regulation. With the AI Act, it has established the world’s first harmonised legal framework for artificial intelligence. But what does this text actually contain? Does it stifle innovation or protect citizens? Is Europe lagging behind in the global AI race? Can it still hold its own against the major technological powers?
This webinar aims to put the facts back at the heart of the debate and deconstruct preconceived ideas, with a primarily technological approach: the focus will be on the potential of AI and its concrete opportunities in Europe. It will also be an opportunity to present what Europe is doing to promote the development and deployment of AI, in the interests of business competitiveness, improved healthcare and optimised public services. Finally, because AI is not without risks, the role of the AI Act as a framework of trust will also be discussed.
Join us on March 18th from 7pm to 8pm for a webinar with Cécile Huet, Head of Unit ‘Excellence in AI and Robotics’ at the European Commission’s European Artificial Intelligence Office (DG CONNECT).
