About the Conference

Official Opening Event of WorldAIWeek 2023

  • Responsible AI state of play

    Since the first edition of ALLAI’s Responsible AI Conference in 2019, the world has seen many great initiatives to ensure that AI is developed and used responsibly. We will reflect on the state of play of responsible AI. 

  • The AI Act - where are we now?

    The negotiations on the European AI Act have started. What are the positions of the negotiating parties? What can be expected as a final outcome? High Level speakers will reflect.

  • Psychological patterns of AI

    AI can influence our behavior and psychology. How can we protect our human integrity and autonomy?

  • AI Treaty Fireside Chat

    The second major AI regulation is being negotiated at the Council of Europe: the AI Treaty. Jan Kleijssen and Catelijne Muller are part of the ALLAI delegation at the negotiating table and you can ask them anything.

  • GenAI, GPAI, Foundation Models

    This year was the year of ChatGPT, StableDiffusion, Bloom, Bard and many other generative, general purpose and foundational models. What are the ethical, legal and social implications of these developments? Experts reflect.
