The Economics of Computing: Toward an Integrated Regulation of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has entered a new era: one of an industry shaped by compute, infrastructure, and regulatory choices. Energy costs, access to computing power, business models, the European framework, trust, and accountability—these questions are now at the very heart of public and industrial strategies.

On May 27, 2026, the Digital Economy and Competition Chair, in partnership with Accuracy, invites you to a day of discussions dedicated to the compute economy and the integrated regulation of AI, bringing together researchers, public policymakers, and major digital stakeholders.

The conference will take place on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, at Accuracy’s premises: 16 avenue Matignon, Paris 8th arrondissement.
