AI in Europe

Virtual Event Virtual Event

September 6, 2023 @ 9:00 am 10:00 am PDT

The “AI in Europe” webinar is the fourth in the “Approachable AI” series. These webinars aim at decision-makers who approach AI from customer, product, and business perspectives. As we see it, AI is technical, but technology is an enabler, not the primary purpose.

First, we recap the highlights of our first three webinars. We’ll cover an intro to AI, building AI solutions, and their cost. Looking at these through European lenses may look different than in the US.

Second, the emerging European Union’s AI legislation is a hot topic. EU has a long history of being the front runner in legislating, e.g., consumer privacy. EU’s actions have also paved the way for California and an increasing number of states to introduce or expand their consumer privacy laws. The EU’s AI Act has different rules for different risk levels. Classifications to a particular risk level may be a result of, e.g., the activity (AI facial recognition), product category (toys, aviation), and application area (law enforcement). The new regulations establish obligations for providers and users, including privacy and transparency.

We also cover AI interest in Europe vs. elsewhere, AI benefits, financing, and resourcing. Finally, we look at the latest Microsoft 365 Copilot features.
