Apply AI webinars engage with industry and public sector to promote the adoption of AI and showcase how AI can enhance competitiveness and technological sovereignty.
The Apply AI Strategy supports the integration of AI in strategic sectors through an "AI First" policy, encouraging companies to consider AI as a primary solution to tackle challenges, while taking into careful consideration the benefits and the risks of the technology.
Following the launch of the strategy, a series of live webinars is providing insights into its implementation, featuring explanations of sector-specific flagship actions and discussions on cross-cutting enablers like skills, investment, and innovation.
The series begins with a high-level fireside chat on the vision and goals of the Apply AI strategy, setting the stage for the series. The webinars are thematic, each focusing on a cluster of strategic sectors to explore practical applications, use cases, and the specific needs of the industries.
All sessions are live streamed and open to everyone on our YouTube channel.
