Technopark Event «AI’ll be back – Consequences of AI regulation for startups»

The use of artificial intelligence in the EU will be regulated by the AI Act, the world’s first comprehensive AI law. Its purpose is to legally define artificial intelligence and impose documentation, auditing, and process requirements for AI providers. What does that mean for AI startups in Switzerland?

Three speakers will discuss consequences, opportunities and risks of the AI Act.

• Livia Walpen, Senior Policy Advisor International Relations at BAKOM, outlines the current state of the EU AI act and its possible consequences for Switzerland.
• Christoph Heitz, Founder and President of the Data Innovation Alliance, discusses how developers of AI applications in companies need to prepare already today, how the AI Act changes the job of developers, and how startups can obtain support for these new challenges.
• Christoph Bräunlich, Head AI of BSI Software, presents a use case to demon-strate how a «Code of AI conduct» can help to be prepared for compliance for AI regulations.

Speakers and audience will deepen questions in a discussion moderated by Markus Christen, managing director of the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) of the University of Zurich.
