Tech Policy, Ethics & AI Governance Events in Europe

Bringing diverse stakeholders together to explore practical and viable approaches to sustainable AI use across sectors.

This conference is co-organized by the Geneva Health Forum (GHF), and the Geneva Digital Health Hub (gdhub) and will be hosted during the GHF 2026 edition under the theme New Forms of Collaboration in Global Health.

Building on the gdhub and GHF experience in connecting knowledge, people anpolicy across academia, international organisations, NGOs and the private sector, it will examine how new forms of collaboration can support responsible and sustainable AI use in global health.

This conference addresses the environmental cost of artificial intelligence in scientific research and healthcare.

As AI adoption has accelerated across sectors, so have the concernsabout the resources these systems consume, the waste they generate, and the burden places on the communities that host them.

Governance discussions have not kept pace. Where they exist, they tend to be sector-specific: policymakers, AI developers and the researchers and clinicians who use these tools rarely address th equestion together.

The result is a gap between governance frameworks and the conditions under which AI is deployed, and it is in that gap that sustainable AI use fails to translate into practice.

T********he conference brings various stakeholders into the same room: policy makers, scientific communities and private sector AI developers, as well as its users, to formulate viable solutions together****.****

Panel discussions and an interactive workshop give end users a direct role in shaping the outcomes of the discussions.

When AI finds the bug first: who governs the window?

On 21 October 2026, PHP, the programming language behind roughly 70% of websites, released emergency fixes for two critical flaws, together called PHP2Shell. Researchers found them with frontier AI models, including OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Google's Gemini 4 Argon. In the Netherlands, the NCSC, DigiD, MijnOverheid, the Tweede Kamer and parts of the higher-education network went offline as a precaution. OpenAI presents the case as AI finding the flaws before attackers did, and has proposed a five-stage process for coordinating such disclosures, with governments brought in along the way. Yet the embargo broke early, exploit attempts appeared days before disclosure, and the researcher who found the first flaw says he used publicly available models. This week we ask who should govern the window between an AI finding a flaw and the world patching it. We pair the news with a June 2026 expert consultation by the US National Academies, which expects AI to favour attackers in the near term and finds that defensive work such as patch deployment is the hardest part to speed up.

Questions we'll explore

• Did AI help defenders or attackers more in the PHP incident? How would we know?
• Should a private AI lab coordinate a global security response and decide who hears first? If not, who should?
• Were the Dutch precautionary shutdowns, from DigiD to the Tweede Kamer website, proportionate?
• Should access to the most capable cyber models be restricted, and who should decide who gets it?
• The National Academies find that patch deployment is the hardest part of defence to speed up. What would help the Netherlands patch faster?

Format (90 min): Discussion in small groups and plenary. No presentations, no wrong questions.

Readings:

How to prepare: This is a standalone session; no lecture needed. Please reserve about 1.5 hours, ideally over a few evenings. Short on time? The ★ items (about 1 hour) are the essentials.

Part 1 (~35 min): what happened

• ★ ~10 min: AP, Websites scramble to fix software flaw that could put much of internet at risk
• ★ ~5 min: NL Times, Some important Dutch websites still offline after PHP issues
• ~10 min: BCS, Analysis: the global PHP incident, the view of the UK professional body for IT
• ~10 min: AI Weekly, PHP2Shell roundup, on the credit dispute, the broken embargo and early exploitation

Part 2 (~35 min): the academic lens

• ★ ~15 min: OpenAI, Coordinated disclosure of critical vulnerabilities, the five-stage process. No time? Read the PPC Land summary instead.
• ★ ~20 min: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2026), Implications of AI for Cybersecurity: A Rapid Expert Consultation. Read the chapter Artificial Intelligence and the Changing Cybersecurity Landscape (pp. 4–7).

Title: Responsible AI Beyond the Buzzwords: Turning AI Principles into Practical Business Decisions

Abstract: Responsible AI is often discussed through principles such as fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy and human oversight. The real challenge for organisations is turning these principles into practical decisions, processes and controls.
This session moves beyond Responsible AI theory to explore what responsible AI adoption actually looks like when organisations are designing, deploying and operating AI systems.
Participants will explore practical approaches for identifying AI risks, establishing accountability, addressing bias, implementing human oversight and building trust into the AI lifecycle.

✅ Responsible AI in Practice — Move beyond principles and understand what Responsible AI means operationally.
✅ Fairness & Bias — Identify where bias can emerge and how organisations can manage it.
✅ Transparency & Explainability — Understand when and how AI decisions should be explainable.
✅ Human Oversight — Determine where human review, intervention and approval should remain part of AI-enabled decisions.
✅ Privacy & Data Responsibility — Understand responsible handling of data throughout the AI lifecycle.
✅ Accountability & Ownership — Establish who is responsible for AI systems, decisions and outcomes.
✅ From Principles to Controls — Translate Responsible AI principles into practical governance processes and organisational controls.

C-suite and executive leaders, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, Chief AI Officers, AI governance professionals, Responsible AI practitioners, risk and compliance teams, technology leaders, consultants and professionals involved in building, deploying or governing AI systems.
No specialist Responsible AI background is required.

90-minute live session combining practical Responsible AI scenarios, organisational examples and actionable approaches, followed by an open Q&A.
The session is built around one important question:

Responsible AI sounds good in principle — but what does it actually look like in practice?

Ontdek hoe je digitale HR slim en zorgeloos aanpakt met de nieuwste tools, data en regels in de praktijk.

Data en technologieën veranderen hoe Human Resources werkt: van werving en onboarding tot leren, performance en people analytics. Tegelijk groeit het aantal regels: GDPR, de EU AI Act, de Europese loontransparantierichtlijn en Belgische cao’s over nieuwe technologieën en monitoring. Hoe zet je technologie slim in zonder in juridische valkuilen te trappen?

In deze praktijkgerichte opleiding van één dag ontdek je welke toepassingen er vandaag zijn binnen elk HR-proces en waar hun kansen en risico’s liggen. Je krijgt een helder overzicht van de Europese en Belgische wetgeving, met de deadlines die er echt toe doen. In een workshop vertaal je dat naar een concreet actieplan voor je eigen organisatie. Je gaat naar huis met een checklist, sjablonen en drie acties voor de komende 90 dagen.

Doelgroep en leerdoelen

De opleiding richt zich op HR-managers, HR-business partners, HR-medewerkers en L&D-verantwoordelijken. Technische voorkennis is niet nodig.

Na de opleiding kunnen deelnemers:

1. de belangrijkste toepassingen van data en technologie in elk HR-proces benoemen en kritisch beoordelen;
2. de relevante Europese en Belgische wetgeving situeren, inclusief de timing;
3. concreet bepalen wat hun organisatie en HR-dienst nu moet doen.

Dagprogramma (9u – 16.30u)

9u > Opening en verkenning (30 min)

• Waarom dit onderwerp nu? Een snelle schets van de evolutie van HR-technologie.
• Een interactieve poll: welke tools gebruiken deelnemers al, en gebeurt dat met of zonder beleid?

9.30u > Module 1: Data en technologie in de HR-cyclus (90 min)
Per HR-proces, telkens met voorbeelden en een korte demo:

• Werving en selectie: vacatureteksten, CV-screening, matching, chatbots voor kandidaten
• Onboarding: digitale trajecten, AI-assistenten voor nieuwe medewerkers
• Leren en ontwikkeling: gepersonaliseerde leerpaden, skills mapping, AI-coaching
• Performance en talent: continue feedback, interne mobiliteit, opvolgingsplanning
• People analytics: verloop, verzuim, engagement, strategische personeelsplanning
• HR-administratie en payroll: automatisering, self-service, HR-chatbots
• Welzijn: signalen van werkdruk detecteren, en waar de ethische grens ligt

11u > Pauze

11.15u > Module 2: Randvoorwaarden voor verantwoord gebruik (45 min)

• Datakwaliteit en de HR-datahuishouding: welke data heb je, waar zitten ze, wie is eigenaar?
• Bias en discriminatie in algoritmes, met concrete voorbeelden
• De mens in de lus: wie neemt de uiteindelijke beslissing?
• Verandermanagement: medewerkers meenemen en vertrouwen opbouwen

12u > Lunch

12.45u > Module 3: Europees wetgevend kader (75 min)

EU AI Act.

• De AI Omnibus trad op 27 juli 2026 in werking als Verordening (EU) 2026/1744. Daardoor is de tijdlijn gewijzigd.
• Verboden praktijken gelden al sinds februari 2025. Voor HR gaat het onder meer om emotieherkenning op de werkvloer en social scoring.
• AI-geletterdheid is een verplichting die al loopt. Controleer wel de finale formulering na de Omnibus.
• Transparantie: de toepassingsdatum is 2 december 2026.
• Hoog-risico-AI treft HR rechtstreeks, want werving, promotie, ontslag, taakverdeling en monitoring vallen eronder. Voor deze systemen uit Bijlage III is de toepassing uitgesteld van 2 augustus 2026 naar 2 december 2027.
• De rol van HR als gebruiksverantwoordelijke (deployer) brengt eigen plichten mee: menselijk toezicht, gebruik volgens de instructies, logging, en werknemers informeren.

AVG/GDPR in de arbeidsrelatie.

• De juiste rechtsgrond: toestemming is in een arbeidsrelatie zelden geldig.
• De DPIA.
• Geautomatiseerde besluitvorming (artikel 22).
• Bewaartermijnen en de rechten van werknemers.

Europese loontransparantierichtlijn.

• België vroeg op 1 juni 2026 aan de Europese Commissie 6 maanden extra tijd voor de omzetting.
• Voor de privésector gelden er vandaag nog geen afdwingbare verplichtingen of sancties. Die komen er zodra de Belgische omzetting in werking treedt.
• Bij een geschil met een overheidswerkgever kunnen werknemers zich wél rechtstreeks op de richtlijn beroepen.

Kort aangestipt:

• De platformwerkrichtlijn: de regels rond algoritmisch management.
• NIS2: de rol van HR in cyberbewustzijn en toegangsbeheer.
• De Data Act.

14u > Module 4: Belgisch kader (45 min)

• Cao 39: informatie en overleg bij de invoering van nieuwe technologieën.
• Cao 81: controle op elektronische communicatie.
• Cao 68: camerabewaking.
• Recht op deconnectie, klokkenluiderswetgeving en het arbeidsreglement.
• De rol van de overlegorganen: ondernemingsraad, CPBW en vakbondsafvaardiging. Wanneer moet je hen betrekken?

14.45u > Pauze

15u > Module 5: Van wetgeving naar actie, als workshop (75 min)
In groepjes werken deelnemers een realistische case uit, bijvoorbeeld de invoering van een AI-tool voor selectie of een people-analyticsdashboard. Ze gebruiken daarvoor een to-do-lijst voor organisaties en HR-diensten:

1. Een inventaris van alle digitale tools en AI-toepassingen in HR, ook de onofficiële
2. Een risicoclassificatie volgens de AI Act
3. Kritische vragen aan leveranciers
4. Een DPIA waar nodig
5. Een AI-beleid en gebruiksrichtlijnen voor medewerkers
6. Een opleidingsplan voor AI-geletterdheid
7. Het overleg met de sociale partners
8. Governance: wie is eigenaar en wie beslist?
9. Loondata en functieclassificatie op orde brengen voor loontransparantie
10. Een roadmap met tijdlijn: nu, vóór eind 2026 en vóór eind 2027

16.15u > Afsluiting (15 min)
Elke deelnemer noteert drie concrete acties voor de komende 90 dagen. Daarna volgt de evaluatie.

Who is accountable when an autonomous agent makes the call?

Part of AI at Work, a series hosted by Isabel Shestopal and Epicenter.

When an AI agent places an order, approves a refund or acts on customer data, who is responsible? The coworker using it, the company deploying it or the provider behind it? And what role should government play in setting the rules?

In this edition of AI at Work, we’ll explore what the EU AI Act means for businesses and the people working in them. What should employees check before trusting an AI decision? What must companies put in place, and who steps in when something goes wrong?

We’ll also discuss the business case for safe AI. Can companies earn customer confidence and win business by showing that their AI is secure, reliable and under control? What does that take in practice, and what does it cost?

Finally, we’ll explore AI sovereignty: where companies build and run their AI, who can access their data and what happens if a provider changes its terms or becomes unavailable. How much dependence is a business comfortable with?

Join us for a practical conversation about using AI responsibly, sharing accountability and knowing when to keep a human in charge.

One week after Election Day, Newsweek will bring together policy experts and Washington insiders to examine the 2026 midterm results through the lens of artificial intelligence.

The discussion will draw on Newsweek’s AI Policy Scorecard, which tracks the public records of all 537 sitting members of Congress across five areas of AI policy: regulation and governance, data centers and energy, jobs and the economy, safety and privacy, and national security and China.
Using those findings as a starting point, the panel will look at what the results reveal about the emerging politics of AI: where the issue mattered, how positions cut across traditional party lines, and how the composition of the next Congress could reshape the policy fights ahead.

The panel will feature Nathaniel Persily, James B. McClatchy professor of law at Stanford Law School and co-director of the Stanford Law AI Initiative and the Stanford AI Governance Lab; Brent Buchanan, founder and CEO of Cygnal; Nick Penniman, founder and CEO of Issue One; and Andrew Mamo, communications advisor at The Bench.

Moderated by Gabriel Snyder, Newsweek’s executive editor, enterprise, the conversation will also explore how campaigns and outside groups approached AI during the election, what the results mean for lobbying and advocacy in Washington and which questions are likely to confront lawmakers.

NOVEMBER 11-12-13

Explore and challenge possible futures of how AI might shape the way we work together.

We invite the curious to explore and challenge possible futures of human collaboration at work. In this workshop, you’ll encounter draft futures scenarios developed by the Core Group of our ongoing Collaborative Foresight cycle on Futures of Human Collaboration and AI.

Together, we’ll visit these possible futures and examine what they could mean for relationships, trust, communication, coordination, knowledge-sharing and decision-making at work. What assumptions are we making? Whose perspectives are missing? And what consequences might we have overlooked?

You will be learning about possible futures of human collaboration and AI through critiquing and discussing these draft scenarios. At the same time, your perspectives and constructive critique will help the Core Group challenge their thinking and further develop the scenarios before the final stage of the process.

We welcome people from different sectors, professions and types of workplaces. You might already be working actively with AI, be experiencing how it is beginning to affect your work or organisation or bring a perspective that you think is missing from current conversations about AI and work. No AI expertise is required.

The workshop will be facilitated by Media Evolution’s Foresight Lead, Reeta Hafner.

Participation is free of charge, but seats are limited, so sign up in advance.

Title: Human-in-Loop Isn’t Enough: Turn Principles into Controls You Can Actually Use

Abstract: Adding a human approval step to an AI workflow does not automatically make the system responsible, safe or well-governed.
Effective human oversight requires organisations to clearly define who has authority, when intervention is required, what decisions can be overridden, how exceptions are escalated, and how actions are recorded and reviewed.
This session explores how organisations can move beyond the simple “human-in-the-loop” concept and build practical controls that provide meaningful oversight throughout the AI lifecycle. NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework similarly emphasises clearly defined roles and documented processes for human-AI configurations and oversight.

✅ Why Human-in-the-Loop Isn’t Enough — Understand why simply adding human approval may not provide meaningful oversight.
✅ Meaningful Human Oversight — Explore when humans should monitor, intervene, approve, override or stop an AI-driven process.
✅ Automation Bias — Understand the risk of people becoming overly dependent on AI recommendations.
✅ Risk-Based Controls — Determine the appropriate level of human control based on the impact and risk of an AI decision.
✅ Approval & Escalation Points — Define which AI actions can proceed automatically and which should require human authorisation.
✅ From Principles to Controls — Turn Responsible AI principles into practical workflows, controls and governance mechanisms.
✅ Accountability & Auditability — Establish clear ownership and maintain evidence of AI decisions, human interventions and approvals.
Human oversight is also becoming an increasingly structured area of AI governance: ISO/IEC 42105, currently in final-draft stage, specifically addresses human control and monitoring of AI systems throughout their lifecycle.

C-suite and executive leaders, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, Chief AI Officers, AI governance professionals, Responsible AI practitioners, risk and compliance teams, technology leaders, AI architects, consultants and professionals involved in building, deploying or governing AI systems.

90-minute live expert session featuring practical scenarios, human-oversight models, control mechanisms and real-world AI governance considerations, followed by an open Q&A.
The session is built around one critical question:

Having a human in the loop sounds responsible — but is that human actually in control?

AI has found its way into almost every corner of our work. It can help us move faster, but what happens when efficiency comes at the cost of critical thinking, sustainability, or responsibility for the products we create?

For World Usability Day 2026, we're bringing together three talks on how to use AI more responsibly. We'll discuss sustainability, critical thinking, and the ethical questions that come with using AI in our work.

TALKS & SPEAKERS

1. Taking sustainability into account when using AI by Daniela Romero Valdes, UX Researcher, and Jiawei van Kleef, Senior Product Designer at Fastned.

Fastned is building a fast-charging network to help people drive without fossil fuels. But AI also consumes energy. Daniela and Jiawei will share how Fastned's UX team evaluated AI tools, set principles for using them, and introduced AI into their daily research and design work as a co-pilot, not an autopilot.
Daniela works across teams on design validation, EV driver personas, market research, and strategic initiatives.
Jiawei works on the Fastned app and design system, focusing on using AI to make design work more efficient without compromising quality.

2. The illusion of understanding by Natalia Arsand, independent designer, mentor, and founder of Eixo.

Drawing on cognitive science, Natalia will explore how we make sense of information, what we might lose when we let AI do the thinking for us, and how to recognise when AI is actually helping.
Natalia spent ten years at Booking working in product design, design systems, and design operations. Now she helps designers and product leaders deal with complex challenges.

3. From tech ethics to AI ethics: What should we ask ourselves now? by Katherine Elizabeth Bustos Rodas, technology leader.

Ethical questions in technology existed long before AI. What has changed is the speed, scale, and impact of the products we create. Through three real-life cases, Katherine will discuss ethical challenges, from encouraging greener behaviour to protecting critical thinking and designing AI that people confide in.
Katherine has over ten years of experience in product, engineering, and AI. She has worked at TomTom and Felyx and currently volunteers as Head of Europe for Women in AI.

HOST
Fastned is a European EV fast-charging company building a network of charging stations to make electric driving easier and help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Künstliche Intelligenz entscheidet nicht unabhängig von uns. KI spiegelt unsere Daten, Werte und gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen wider.

Ihr Wirken verortet Dr. Alina Gales an den Schnittstellen von Gender & Diversity sowie Privilegien & Diskriminierungen im Zusammenhang mit Tech: Sie leitet die Stabsstelle Diversity & Inclusion an der Technischen Universität München und entwickelt Strategien, um die Universität zu einer noch vielfältigeren und inklusiveren Institution zu gestalten. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt sie sich mit Fragen, wie sich Technologie und Gesellschaft gegenseitig beeinflussen – insbesondere im Hinblick auf Geschlecht im Kontext von Künstlicher Intelligenz.

In ihrem Vortrag geht es um das Verhältnis von Gesellschaft, Gender und Technologie: Künstliche Intelligenz entscheidet nicht unabhängig von uns. KI spiegelt unsere Daten, Werte und gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen wider – deshalb müssen wir heute entscheiden, was wir in diese Systeme hineintragen und welche Zukunft wir damit gestalten wollen.

Innovatie, controle en weerbaarheid in balans

Voor de gedetaillleerde agenda, klik hier.

Innovatie of controle? Schaalbaarheid of soevereiniteit? Snelheid of governance? AI is niet langer de vraag. De echte uitdaging is hoe u de juiste keuzes maakt.

Ook het Beltug Priorities Compass 2026 bevestigt hoe sterk vragen rond governance, security, compliance en controle de agenda van Belgische digitale leiders bepaalt. Net daarom brengen we tijdens ons jaarlijks inspiratie-event de verschillende perspectieven samen. Van strategie en regelgeving tot concrete praktijkverhalen. Zo krijgt u niet alleen zicht op de keuzes die op organisaties afkomen, maar ook op hoe anderen daar vandaag al mee omgaan**.** Geen zwart-witverhaal. Wel het juiste kompas voor het AI-tijdperk.

Met bijdragen van Beltug, Agoria, toonaangevende sprekers en inspirerende praktijkcases.

Met 2 parallelle tracks.

• Een helder kader voor het AI-tijdperk: welke keuzes staan organisaties vandaag te wachten rond innovatie, governance en digitale soevereiniteit?
• Inspirerende keynotes van onder meer Beltug en Joachim De Vos met een blik op de trends, uitdagingen en opportuniteiten die de toekomst van AI vormgeven.
• · De nieuwe spelregels voor AI: van AI Act tot governance en compliance: wat moet u vandaag weten en welke impact heeft dit op uw organisatie?
• Concrete praktijkverhalen uit overheid, zorg en het bedrijfsleven die tonen hoe organisaties vandaag AI inzetten én welke keuzes zij maakten rond technologie, data en governance. U kiest zelf welke sessies u wenst mee te pikken.
• Een experience zone vol inspiratie, waar u onze experten ontmoet, innovatieve oplossingen van onze AI-partners ontdekt en ervaringen uitwisselt met peers.

The Data Center Expansion

In the context of the rapid expansion of data centers in France and across Europe, the Observatory on the Environmental Footprint of AI is bringing together researchers, experts, and policymakers to discuss the environmental challenges associated with the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

MORNING: GENERAL PUBLIC

9h30 – 9h50: Coffee

09h50 – 10h00: Welcome remarks

École normale supérieure

AI and Society Institute

Observatory on the Environmental Footprint of AI

10h00 – 10h40: Keynote (40 min)

(forthcoming)

Cecilia Rikap: author of The Rulers: Corporate Power in the Age of AI and the Cloud

10h40 – 11h20: Are all AI use cases worth it?

15 min - Tristan Coignon: The usage and environmental impacts of AI video

generation

Abstract: In the past years, AI video generation has gone from a technology barely able to produce anything meaningful to a fully-fledged tool used by millions across the world. However, generating AI video comes at a steep resource cost and the broader environmental impacts of AI video generation as a technology, and their evolution over time, are still understudied. As such, in this presentation, we aim to model and estimate the conservative worldwide impacts of AI video generation over the years.

15 min - Antonia Marcheva: Costs and Benefits of Generative AI in the Global

Economy

Abstract: The discussion of the impact of generative AI is divided into groups who believe it will primarily improve lives, and those who believe the environmental and social consequences will overwhelm any positive impact. We use a state-of-the-art model of the global economy to explore the tension between the environmental costs, the increase in useful economic goods (e.g. healthcare and education), and the change in the structure of the economy (e.g. jobs). For environmental costs, we focus on the increase in emissions from the electricity sector, both from direct electricity use and the failure to phase out the most polluting electricity generation due to increased demand. We also pay particular attention to which countries receive the benefits of generative AI and which ones bear the costs.

10 min: Q&A

11h20 – 11h40: Break

11h40 – 12h15: Panel TBD - Anticipating token consumption

Retrieval pipelines, reasoning models and agentic workflows multiply the number of tokens behind a single user request. Organisations deploying generative AI can thus underestimate how many tokens (and energy) they will actually consume. This panel brings together organisations that have had to put their token consumption under management: how they forecast it, where the overruns came from, and what they changed in response.

12h15 – 12h55: Challenges of the data center expansion

15 min – Loup Cellard: The many barriers to waste heat reuse from data centres.

Abstract**: In order to improve the urban development of data centres, operators are** trying to give something back to local municipalities. Data centres can then supply heat to a closed local loop or an urban heating network. How can we explain the difficulty in matching the heat supply from data centres with the demand for decarbonised energy in local areas? The talk will present the results of an empirical study conducted in France since January 2026.

15 min – Clément Gasull: Grid connection regimes for data centers in France

10 min - Q&A

12h55 – 13h: Closing remarks

La FnTC imagine le futur de la confiance numérique pour célébrer ses 25 ans.

Le 17 novembre 2026, la Fédération des Tiers de Confiance du numérique (FnTC) fête ses 25 ans et vous donne rendez-vous au Studio Gabriel, à Paris, pour une édition exceptionnelle de ses Assises de la Confiance numérique. Un quart de siècle après sa création, la Fédération a choisi d'interroger l'avenir plutôt que de simplement célébrer son parcours : quelles seront les formes de la confiance numérique dans un monde bouleversé par l'intelligence artificielle, l'informatique quantique et les tensions géopolitiques autour de la souveraineté ? C'est cette question, ambitieuse et résolument tournée vers demain, qui structurera l'ensemble de l'après-midi.

Au programme, quatre ateliers pensés comme autant d'explorations prospectives : la cybersécurité de demain et les nouveaux visages de la menace, la souveraineté numérique française et européenne à l'épreuve des faits, la résistance de la confiance numérique face au choc de l'informatique quantique, et la question, aussi vertigineuse qu'inévitable, de la confiance que l'on peut accorder à une machine qui pense. Ces échanges réuniront des intervenants de premier plan — experts techniques, régulateurs, parlementaires et dirigeants — pour confronter les points de vue et éclairer les décisions à venir.

L'événement sera aussi celui de la reconnaissance : les Trophées de la Confiance numérique viendront saluer les organisations dont les initiatives incarnent le mieux l'excellence et l'innovation en matière de confiance numérique. Un moment fort, à la fois festif et symbolique, pour clore ces Assises sur une note tournée vers les acteurs qui construisent, chaque jour, cette confiance.

Que vous soyez éditeur de logiciels, prestataire de services, professionnel réglementé, start-up, expert-comptable, greffier, commissaire de justice, parlementaire ou responsable institutionnel, ces Assises sont pensées pour vous : elles rassemblent l'ensemble des acteurs de référence de la confiance numérique autour d'un même objectif — comprendre, anticiper et façonner ensemble le monde numérique de demain.

Le programme:

• 14h00 – 14h10 : Discours d'introduction du Président

• 14h10 – 14h55 : La cybersécurité de demain : quels nouveaux risques et quelles nouvelles menaces ?

• 14h55 – 15h40 : Souveraineté numérique française et européenne : à l'épreuve des faits

• 15h40 – 15h55 : Pause

• 15h55 – 16h40 : Confiance numérique : survivra-t-elle au choc quantique ?

• 16h40 – 17h25 : IA de confiance : comment faire confiance à une machine qui pense ?

• 17h25 – 18h00 : Remise des Trophées de la Confiance numérique

Réservez dès maintenant votre place pour cette édition anniversaire, le 17 novembre 2026 à 14h00, au Studio Gabriel.

AI Governance is often framed as a constraint. We see it differently: done well, it enables organizations to move faster, scale AI responsibly, and build lasting trust.

In this edition of the AI Austria Community, we explore how governance, compliance, risk and law can become practical enablers for AI adoption — from effective guardrails and legal compliance to operational resilience, cost control and autonomous systems.

Together with leaders from Austria’s AI, legal, risk and compliance ecosystem, we will discuss the frameworks, operating models and lessons learned that help teams deploy and scale AI with confidence.
Hosted by AI Austria, in collaboration with AI Factory.
