AI & Data Compliance: Update Summit (Dublin)
Thursday, 19th June 2025 - Central Dublin, Ireland
(In-Person Attendance)
The use of Artifical Intelligence evokes both fear in some and excitement in many. What’s clear is that there are huge possibilities for all organisations in terms of productivity, creativity, service development, cost savings and profit. In order to be able to lawfully exploit this potential, organisations must understand how legal requirements operate to govern the use of AI.
Event Overview
“A very well-organised and run event. The Summit had included a great range of AI topics and discussions which were covered by knowledgable professionals.”
|
European digital regulation is pivoting into new practice areas from AI to data and cybersecurity. This event offers a practical, deep dive into AI and the regulation of the digital world we work and live in. Topics explain how AI works, how it can be implemented and how it can fit into existing compliance and governance frameworks. The event also helps delegates to navigate the new digital reforms from Europe.
Presentations provide practical guidance with the aim of ensuring that your organisation manages the risks and opportunities of AI and other technologies as Europe embarks on its most significant regulatory era.
This event combines PDP's reputation for producing highly practical events with the expertise of William Fry LLP, one of the Ireland's leading law firms.
