INNOVATION IN THE AGE OF
REGULATION
Description
What is the future of groundbreaking technology in the wake of recent digital regulation? The EU’s AI Act, Digital Services Act, and Digital Markets Act are changing the way tech companies are allowed to operate in the EU.
With so many new rules concerning transparency, competition, red teaming, and the need for unbiased input, there is escalating pressure for compliance. But it is also the first time that tech companies and VCs have rules that will guide them toward making the next big thing.
While the EU’s AI Act approaches AI as a product, how will the United States establish regulations that support innovation? What opportunities are the Digital Markets Act, Digital Service Act, and EU AI Act creating for companies in both the EU and United States?
In this discussion, experts will look at the future of digital policy and how venture capitalists, developers, and policymakers can anticipate trends and turn them into opportunities.
