Data Science & Law Forum 3.0

Welcome to the Data Science & Law Forum 3.0

Since 2018, the Data Science & Law Forum has provided a space for collective reflection and learning on developing principles for responsible AI. In 2021, the discussions moved to the operationalization of AI – artificial intelligence in practice – and the necessary adoption of rules that guardrail AI systems.

The 3rd edition of the Data Science & Law Forum aimed to advance discussions around developing robust and trustworthy AI and
convene experts from the research community, civil society, policymaking, and legal practice.

 

Brussels plenary week (26 to 30 April)

All times listed are in local Brussels time (CEST).

At a glance

This year’s Data Science & Law Forum 3.0 was held virtually, starting with regional chapters that took place from 13 to 21 April. The chapters included an Envision Workshop, a policy panel on challenges and opportunities of operationalizing AI, and inside-out learning keynotes that aimed to provide participants with practical insights into responsible AI governance. 

 

 This European journey was then brought to Brussels on 26 April for a full plenary week.

The plenary week included policy panels on regulating AI, accountability mechanisms and Transatlantic cooperation. Forward-leaning fire-side chats and BookTalks fostered discussions on the choices we need to make today for a human-centric AI future of tomorrow.
