This webinar offered participants an in-depth look into the AI Act objectives, its risk-based framework, and the governance mechanisms it introduces, including the central role of the EU AI Office.
The AI Pact webinars address questions about the Act’s anticipated impact on citizens, businesses, and public services across the EU and beyond. These webinars are part of the first pillar of the AI Pact, helping participants understand the AI Act, their responsibilities, and how to prepare for its implementation. In turn, the AI Office gathers insights into best practices and challenges faced by the participants.
Moderated by an external expert, this session will be followed by a second webinar on 17 December. Starting in early January, the AI Office will also launch a series of thematic webinars, each focusing on specific aspects of the Act’s implementation.
The AI Office remains committed to leveraging feedback and fostering collaboration through the AI Pact, ensuring a smooth transition toward full compliance with the AI Act.
The event was public and open to everyone. You can access the recording of the webinar and the slides.
