• Tuesday, January 16 | Responsible AI – As we firmly enter the era of Artificial Intelligence, the need for reliable verification, smart regulation, and responsible governance has never been more clear. Among other topics, this day will focus on AI opportunities and pitfalls, the importance of greater ethical AI standards, and what the best (and worst) case scenarios could look like a decade from now.
