The regulation of AI in Europe

The publication by the European Commission on April 21, 2021 of a Proposal for a Regulation on Artificial Intelligence marks the transition from the era of ethics to the era of legal regulation of AI systems. The preparation of a binding legal instrument in the framework of the Council of Europe further confirms that AI is at the center of attention of European legislators. This multidisciplinary study day aims to present and discuss these proposed regulations, their articulation with existing legal rules (liability, personal data) and their gaps. Finally, several AI use cases (facial recognition, health, finance, work, etc.) will be the subject of particular attention. 

The event will be held in French - Online
