About us
Welcome to Demystifying AI Governance (DAIG) Paris, an interactive professional networking community for European AI founders, tech leads, corporate directors, and compliance advisors navigating global technology regulations.
What We Do at Our Events
Our platform hosts highly interactive virtual roundtables and local briefing sessions where members connect face-to-face to break down complex international laws. Every session is structured to foster real human connection. We begin with a collaborative regulatory overview, followed immediately by a dedicated 20-to-30-minute open-floor Q&A and peer-to-peer discussion block. All partners are actively encouraged to turn on their cameras, unmute, share their unique operational challenges, and collaborate with local peers to solve compliance hurdles together.
Who Should Join
This group is specifically curated for Paris-based early-to-mid-stage AI startup founders, technical product managers, chief risk officers, legal counsels, and company directors. If your venture builds or deploys software layers within the European market, managing corporate liability and understanding statutory mandates are critical boardroom priorities. We provide the peer support network to help you navigate this space safely.
Fees and Group Dues
Membership in this Paris community and attendance at our monthly informational briefings and collaborative roundtable events is 100% free. There are no mandatory dues, hidden costs, or subscription fees required to participate in our core sessions.

## Event Agenda
Part 1: The Four EU AI Risk Tiers (15 Minutes)
Every builder must determine their system's regulatory category. Non-compliance carries financial penalties up to 35 million euros or 7% of global annual turnover.
- Unacceptable Risk: Social scoring, subliminal behavioural manipulation, emotion recognition in workplaces/schools. Banned completely in the EU. Systems must not be developed or deployed.
- High Risk: AI in recruitment, credit scoring, medical devices, educational admissions, critical infrastructure. Heavily regulated. Requires risk management, high-quality data auditing, logging, and human oversight.
- Limited Risk: Chatbots, AI coding assistants, synthetic media generation, deepfakes. Active enforcement from August 2. Mandatory transparency disclosures and content watermarking.
- Minimal Risk: Spam filters, AI video game NPC behaviour, basic search and recommendation engines. No mandatory regulatory burden under the AI Act; voluntary codes of conduct apply.
Part 2: Active Enforcement vs. Future Milestones (20 Minutes)
- Currently Enforced Requirements: User Interaction Disclosures: Chatbots and interactive agents must explicitly notify users that they are interacting with an AI system.
- Mandatory AI Literacy (Article 4): Immediate statutory enforcement requiring all organisations deploying AI systems to provide documented, role-specific literacy training to their entire workforce.
- Future Developments and Deadlines: AI Regulatory Sandboxes: National authorities must establish operational AI Sandboxes, giving startups a controlled framework to test high-risk models under legal guidance before commercial launch. Full High-Risk System Compliance: High-risk standalone AI applications and safety components transition into mandatory compliance oversight over upcoming regulatory windows.
Part 3: Practical Takeaway: The AI Founder's Compliance Toolkit (20 Minutes)
Attendees will receive an actionable technical and operational framework:
- Risk Classification Tree - An EU AI Act Compliance Matrix: A simple logic flow to categorise your product's regulatory tier.

Part 4: Interactive Q&A and Community Discussion (15 - 20 Minutes)
Open discussion covering open-source model responsibilities, edge cases, overlapping GDPR rules, and technical implementation challenges.
