WAI Connect Oost NL: Women in AI Benelux x Nexperia — Navigating AI: Do's, Dont's and Dilemmas
About the event:
WAI Connect is a Women in AI Benelux signature event series hosted across the Netherlands and Benelux. It is designed to spotlight local talent working and innovating within AI, spark conversations, and build cross-sector collaboration in AI.
This edition—co-hosted with Nexperia—delves into a timely and relevant topic: legal and ethical implications of AI.
Join us for two insightful talks where we'll examine the legal and ethical questions surrounding AI.
What's happening:
As AI becomes an ever-present aspect of both industry and everyday life, the need to use it responsibly—guided by solid legal and ethical foundations—is both timely and relevant.
In this expert session, we’ll explore how organisations can navigate the evolving legal landscape, leverage existing frameworks, and take practical steps toward compliance with the EU AI Act.
You will leave this talk empowered to contribute to doing the the right thing.
Why this matters now:
The phased implementation of the EU AI Act is creating both momentum and ambiguity. With some areas clearly regulated and others still undefined, organisations are left to interpret how best to move forward.
Understanding how to leverage existing legal and ethical frameworks is crucial—not only for compliance but for building responsible AI systems.
Why attend:
You’ll hear directly from experts working at the intersection of AI, law, and ethics.
They’ll share practical insights on how to approach AI governance and navigate uncertainty in aligning with the EU AI Act.
Connect with peers working at the intersection of AI, law and ethics.
