We are looking for Next-gen Europeans to join us for our upcoming Advocacy Seminar “What’s happening with AI?” at Microsoft Berlin on Mai 13, 2024. Together, we will discuss the impact of AI on various aspects of politics, economy and society.
Our seminar will commence with a presentation by Markus Oermann, Professor of Digital Ethics and Media Law at Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS). Mr Oermann will shed light on AI powered disinformation as a threat to the integrity of elections.
To dive deeper into understanding opportunities based on AI, Harmen Zell, Public Policy Manager at Meta, will conduct an industry workshop titled “Opportunities for the European economy in applying AI”. A second perspective will be introduced by René Delbé, Climate Pact Lead at Microsoft, who will host a workshop on “Opportunities in Sustainable AI”. Subsequently, a policy workshop on “Digital Sovereignty: A robust Strategy for Europe” will be led by Professor Key Pousttchi, founder of the wi-mobile Institute for Digital Transformation, discussing strategies for Europe to maintain sovereignty in AI successfully.
The day will start at 9:00 AM and conclude at 5:30 PM with a Panel Discussion: “AI between regulation and geopolitical tensions – How the EU AI Act impacts economic growth” featuring Wolfgang Dierker, General Manager at Microsoft, Semjon Rens, Public Policy Director at Meta and Marco-Alexander Breit, Deputy Director General for Artificial Intelligence at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
