The AI Regulation Summit 2023 was a global conference focused on the regulatory approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) across various jurisdictions. Organized by City & Financial Global, the event brought together leading experts to discuss the implications of AI regulation for businesses and society.
Key topics included the UK's pro-innovation regulatory approach, the EU's 'top-down' AI Regulation, and the emerging strategies in the U.S. Discussions also covered critical legal issues such as data privacy, consumer protection, cybersecurity, intellectual property protection, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI.
The summit featured a lineup of notable speakers, including Kate Jones, CEO of the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum; William Malcolm, Senior Director at Google; and Jessica Rusu, Chief Data, Information and Intelligence Officer at the Financial Conduct Authority. Attendees had opportunities for networking and engaging with industry leaders throughout the event.
The conference was designed for senior management, including Heads of AI and Digital Risk, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Innovation Officers, Chief Technology and Data Officers, General Counsel, and Heads of Legal and Compliance. Professionals from sectors such as financial services, technology, healthcare, and legal services were encouraged to attend to gain insights into the evolving landscape of AI regulation.
