Register now for our webinar ‘Next steps to compliance: preparing for the EU AI Act’

Register now for our upcoming webinar ‘Next steps to compliance: preparing for the EU AI Act’, on Friday, 18 July 2025, from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST. This session will delve into the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act, helping stakeholders understand their legal obligations and exploring the potential of open data and AI. 

The EU AI Act, which entered into force on 1 August 2024, is the world’s first comprehensive AI regulation. It introduces a risk-based approach, placing new responsibilities on organisations that develop, use, or procure AI systems. With key obligations taking effect in August 2025, it is important to understand how this affects your work – especially as AI systems increasingly rely on publicly available and open government data. Open data is crucial for AI innovation, and aligning data policy with regulation is key to building responsible, effective systems.

In this webinar, we will be joined by two experts in AI governance and data policy. They will cover the current legal landscape surrounding the AI Act, its interaction with existing EU data regulations, and relevant implementation guidelines. The session will also explore the key aspects of the AI regulation, how countries and companies are onboarding to this new legislative landscape, and how this technology combines with data sharing policies – highlighting how the interplay between AI and open data can drive innovation and support Europe’s digital strategy.

Whether you work in the public sector, private industry, or academia, this webinar will help you understand how the AI Act may affect your work and how to prepare effectively. Register today to be part of the discussion and stay informed about the future of AI in Europe!
