AI Compliance, Responsibility and Governance

In the past few years, Artificial Intelligence was not only emerging and evolving but also driving critical discussions on responsibility and governance. European AI and Cloud Summit has a strong focus on these crucial aspects, and we will discuss how responsible AI can transform your business today and what governance measures you should anticipate for tomorrow.

We’ll delve into the business applications of AI with a strong emphasis on responsible and ethical use. We’ll explore how AI can be implemented in a way that prioritizes ethical considerations and governance frameworks. Real-life case studies will highlight successful AI integrations that enhance business operations while maintaining high standards of responsibility.

Security and compliance remain paramount in the AI conversation. We’ll discuss how to ensure AI systems are secure, ethical, and compliant with current regulations, and how AI can be leveraged to improve your organization’s overall security and compliance posture. As AI continues to grow in influence and capability, staying informed about responsible AI practices and governance is essential to avoid being left behind.

EU AI Act: Navigating the Future of AI Regulation

The European AI Act represents a landmark piece of legislation that will shape how organizations develop, deploy, and manage AI systems across Europe. At the European AI and Cloud Summit, we featured a keynote from Azar Koulibaly, GM & Associate GC, Corporate External & Legal Affairs, Microsoft Europe North & Netherlands, on this critical topic. The session was fully packed, reflecting the immense interest and importance of understanding AI regulation in the European context.

The EU AI Act introduces a risk-based approach to AI regulation, categorizing AI systems based on their potential impact on fundamental rights and safety. Organizations must understand these categories and ensure their AI deployments comply with the appropriate requirements. The Act covers everything from prohibited AI practices to high-risk AI systems that require conformity assessments, transparency obligations, and ongoing monitoring.

At the summit, we explore practical strategies for compliance, best practices for AI governance, and how organizations can balance innovation with regulatory requirements. Understanding the EU AI Act is not just about compliance—it's about building trust, ensuring ethical AI deployment, and creating sustainable competitive advantages in the European market.
