Discussion

• ⭐ The EU AI Act: What are the potential challenges and opportunities associated with navigating the EU AI Act's regulations, and how can the businesses in Birmingham and beyond prepare? Join Us for a Community Discussion led by Dr Anandhi Dhukaram
• EU AI Act isn't just for the EU. Legal experts are warning that most organisations will look to the proposed EU AI Act as a means of complying with UK regimes. With its enforcement, companies are compelled to navigate compliance requirements, ultimately safeguarding both society and their own interests.
• As we delve into the intricacies of this groundbreaking regulation, we invite you to join our upcoming session focused on exploring low-risk AI applications as outlined by the EU. This discussion presents an invaluable opportunity for community members to exchange insights, voice concerns, and glean knowledge from one another.
