Prof. Giovanni Sartor moderates a round table with ethics, technology and law scholars for an open interdisciplinary debate on the new EU proposal for an Artificial Intelligence Act.
Date: 31 MAY 2021 from 14:00 to 16:00
Event location: Online
The European Commission has recently presented its proposal for a future regulation on AI. This proposal aims to chart a European path to AI development and innovation in data-intensive systems. Several components are combined in the regulatory mix created by the Commission, with a focus on fundamental rights, conformity assessment, supervisory authorities, certifications, and many other key points. Looking at the ongoing debate within the academia, civil society, business circles and the society at large, the roundtable webinar will discuss this regulatory mix. Are fundamental rights at the heart of future AI? Is the risk-based model designed looking at the main challenges that AI will pose in future years? Are enforcement and oversight solutions adequate? Which impact will this regulation have on competition in the AI market? What is the relationship between the future legal framework and the various ethical guidelines outlined in recent years? After an initial tour de table with 5-minute statements on the main strengths and weakness of this proposal, this and other questions relating to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act will be discussed by panelists with different backgrounds and points of view.
