AI Ethics … 

… will explore the moral implications and societal impact of AI technologies. From addressing bias in algorithms to ensuring fairness and transparency in decision-making processes, this topic aims to foster discussions on upholding ethical standards in AI development and utilization.       

AI Governance … 

… examines the legal and policy frameworks necessary to govern AI responsibly. This topic explores strategies to ensure that AI systems adhere to legal, ethical, and societal norms. In addition, we will look at the transformative impact of AI on the labor market, discussing how AI can address skills shortages, changes in workflows and broader economic impacts, and whether European companies can keep pace with other markets. We will also explore the future of work, the skills needed for AI-driven economies and strategies for a fair transition for all workers.            

At the Responsible AI Conference 2024, we unite experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to foster awareness and drive societal engagement, shaping an AI landscape defined by ethics, sustainability, and accountability.
