EU AI Talk – Live edition
The EU AI Talk – Live edition will take place online on MS Teams Live Event on 30 November 2022, 15.00-17.00 (CET).
About EU AI Talk – Live edition
In 2018, the European Commission put forward a European approach to artificial intelligence and robotics which aims to support and strengthen the development of AI in Europe. Following this, and to match the European ambition, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) launched the grassroots initiative “Joint EU Forces on AI” with the support of other leading Agencies (CDT, EMA, EUIPO). The objective is to jointly explore and exploit the benefits of AI, share knowledge and foster synergies.
This journey began in 2019 and resulted in the achievement of various milestones, including the creation of the EU AI Virtual Community, a forum for fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing around AI. The Community’s platform has grown to match the initiative’s ambition but also the broader and evolving needs of its members.
As part of the regular online virtual events organised by the Community, the EU AI Talk format consists of a panel of speakers invited to discuss and exchange ideas on a specific topic linked to artificial intelligence and the European Union. The participants are also invited to join in the debate by commenting and asking questions to the speakers.
The aim of this EU AI Talk – Live edition is to reflect on the importance and potential of artificial intelligence within the European Union and more specifically with regard to the public sector and the EU Agencies. In addition, this event will be the first of its kind opened to the public and other invitees, beyond the EU AI Virtual Community members.
Objectives of the event
The theme of the EU AI Talks centres on the potential of artificial intelligence within the European public sector, with a focus on the European Agencies. The event aims to bring different ecosystem actors together to discuss the growing importance of AI in the past years.
Specific objectives are:
- Setting the scene with a presentation of the grassroots initiative and EU AI Virtual Community;
- Improving understanding of the growing importance of artificial intelligence within the European public sector and its impact on European Agencies;
- Improving understanding of how different actors can help each other in the adoption and use of artificial intelligence;
- Improving understanding of how different actors can collaborate in addressing the modern challenges linked to artificial intelligence and ensure its trustworthiness;
- Improving understanding of the remaining obstacles that prevent closer collaboration and further application of AI;
- Inspiring participants to be part of the future developments.
