This could result in legislation creating mandatory requirements for AI. Alternatively, the EU could consider a voluntary labeling scheme for applications that meet certain EU-wide requirements or further developing industry-led AI standards and ethics principles. What should the European Commission include in its forthcoming AI legislation to encourage the responsible development and use of AI, without limiting innovation, lowering adoption, or duplicating existing rules?_d04ac7ac-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_8[To be determined]Microsoft KeynoteDeliver remarks representing Microsoft_b1672706-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0013:30 - 14:00 CETCasper KlyngeVice President of European Government Affairs, MicrosoftMicrosoft_d04ac928-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_9[To be determined]Building BlocksDiscuss the elements of success for European AI_b167281e-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0014:00 - 15:15 CETEuropean UnionEU PolicymakersAI CompaniesPanel Discussion: Building Blocks for European AI -- Succeeding in AI requires more than just encouraging leading companies to make investments. It requires a healthy ecosystem of AI companies, robust AI inputs—including skills, research, and data—and organizations that are motivated and free to use AI. All of that requires policies that support the development and adoption of AI. How can European policies promote and support data, talent, research, and the other building blocks of AI in Europe? What are the EU’s key assets when it comes to AI, and in which areas is it lagging? Finally, how can policymakers create a policy framework that is future-proof and equipped to support AI?_d04acaa4-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_10[To be determined]AlliancesDiscuss how Europe can enhance data sharing with its allies_b16728f0-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0015:30 - 16:30 CETUnited StatesCanadaJapanEuropePanel Discussion: How Can Europe Enhance Data Sharing Cooperation With Its Allies -- Despite the distinct benefits that provide incentives for nations to be innovation hubs, the “AI global race” is not always a zero-sum game. Researchers from different parts of the world collaborate to develop AI-related technologies, benefitting multiple nations in the process. In particular, broader access to data can support organizations in developing AI. But there are a number of challenges to sharing data responsibly, such as how to make datasets usable for applications and how to ensure openness does not expose sensitive information or threaten the security of platforms. Closer partnerships with economic allies can provide important solutions to these challenges. They can also foster the development and use of AI by pooling resources and increasing investments. This session will examine the various policies and proposals on data and AI in Europe, the United States, Canada, and Japan, and speakers will discuss how Europe and its allies can work together to develop common infrastructure to ensure responsible data sharing and joint investment in AI._d04acc66-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_11[To be determined]European Commission KeynoteDeliver remarks representing the European Commission_b16729b8-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0016:30 - 17:00 CETMargrethe VestagerExecutive Vice-President of the European Commissionin charge of Europe Fit for the Digital AgeEuropean Commission_d04ace14-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_12[To be determined]European Parliament KeynoteDeliver remarks representing the European Parliament_b1672a9e-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0017:00 - 17:15 CETAnna-Michelle AsimakopoulouMember of European ParliamentMember, EPP GroupVice-Chair of the Committee on International Trade (INTA)European Parliament_d04acfae-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_13[To be determined]Portugal KeynoteDeliver remarks representing the Government of Portugal_b1672c38-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0017:15 - 17:30 CETAndré de Aragão AzevedoSecretary of State for the Digital Transition, Government of PortugalPortugal_d04c8344-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_14[To be determined]EU Digital AgendaConsider what is next for the EU Digital Agenda_b1672d28-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0017:30 - 17:55 CETCarla HustedtProject Lead AI, Bertelsmann StiftungEline ChivotSenior Policy Analyst, Center for Data InnovationEuropean UnionConversations: Inside European Leaders’ Decision Room: “The EU Digital Agenda: What’s Next?” -- A conversation with Carla Hustedt, Project Lead AI, Bertelsmann Stiftung, and Eline Chivot, Senior Policy Analyst, Center for Data Innovation._d04c856a-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_15[To be determined]ConclusionsDeliver concluding remarks on the future of AI policy in the EU. _b1672e0e-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea0017:55 - 18:00 CETClosing Remarks by the Center for Data Innovation_b1672ef4-1f8a-11eb-974b-84eaf682ea00_d04c8736-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00PLACEHOLDER_16[To be determined]_d04c88f8-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea002020-12-012020-12-012020-11-05https://hopin.to/events/european-ai-policy-conference_d04c8a92-1f8c-11eb-81e9-5d50f782ea00OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
