The AI/Data-driven Economy is facing increasing challenges when it comes to compliance with ethical, regulatory, legal and organizational requirements. While establishing a legal framework for the development and roll-out of digital products and services, emerging legislative efforts like the AI Act and Data Act will make the regulatory landscape more complex. This calls for new technical approaches to dealing with and handling compliance in AI and Data Operations.
In this seminar, supported by the European research and innovation project DataPact together with the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), we will shed light on the regulatory landscape in Europe and Norway, and discuss challenges in different industry verticals. We will look into the role of technology and discuss novel, research-driven approaches to Compliance-by-design for AI and Data Ops.
