Register now for our upcoming webinar, ‘Next steps to compliance: preparing for the EU AI Act’, taking place on Friday, 18 July 2025, from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST. 

The EU AI Act, which entered into force on 1 August 2024, is the world’s first comprehensive regulation on artificial intelligence. It introduces a risk-based approach placing new responsibilities on organisations that develop, use, or procure AI systems. With key obligations set to apply from August 2025, now is the time to understand how this affects your work— especially as AI systems increasingly rely on publicly available and open government data. Open data plays an important role in enabling AI innovation, and understanding how data policy and AI regulation complement each other is key to building responsible and effective AI systems.

In this webinar, we will be joined by two experts in AI governance and data policy. They will cover the current legal landscape surrounding the AI Act, its interaction with existing EU data regulations, and relevant implementation guidelines. The session will also explore the key aspects of the AI regulation, how countries and companies are onboarding to this new legislative landscape, and how this technology combines with data sharing policies – providing practical insights on how combining AI with open data can unlock new opportunities for innovation and drive strategic progress across the European data system.

After registering, you will receive an email with a calendar invite and webinar link. This webinar is part of the ‘Understanding data governance with open data’ course offered by the data.europa academy and will be recorded for future access.
