EU AI Act turns 1: Challenges, Opportunities, and What’s Next
17
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
One year after the EU AI Act became law, where do we stand?
This webinar takes a hard look at Year 1: the promises, the pitfalls, and the practical realities of building “trustworthy AI” under Europe’s landmark regulation.
From the challenges of risk classification and compliance headaches to the market impact on innovation and the tricky overlap with GDPR, our expert panel will unpack what’s worked — and what hasn’t. We’ll also dive into vendor risks, governance inside companies, and how AI is shaping everyday work.
Finally, we’ll look ahead to Year 2: what updates, clarifications, and strategies privacy and compliance professionals should have on their radar.
Join us for sharp insights, practical lessons, and an honest debate on whether the AI Act is delivering on its promise — and where it goes from here.
