We are delighted to invite you to a practical afternoon session dedicated to the opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence brings to businesses operating in Romania.
“AI is here. Is your business ready?” will bring together legal experts and industry practitioners for a series of focused discussions on the real-world risks, regulatory requirements and implementation strategies that business leaders need to understand as AI becomes increasingly embedded in day-to-day operations.
The conversation will explore both the legal and practical sides of AI adoption as well as how to protect your business in commercial relationships involving AI, who bears legal liability when AI gets it wrong, how to manage cybersecurity and data protection risks, and what practical steps businesses should take to implement AI safely and effectively.
The event also includes a dedicated session on AI in the life sciences sector, where regulatory scrutiny is highest and the practical questions arrive fastest.
