About

In order to create a space for interdisciplinary discussions and exchanges on the governance issues raised by artificial intelligence, the Digital Law Center has launched the AI Tech & Policy Talks (AITPT) online series in October 2020. During each AITPT session, a presentation will be made by a researcher on a topic relating to IA governance. The presentation is followed by comments made by two expert commentators and by a general informal discussion with the participants. The AITPT events are organized in English.

The DLC invites you to join us for the next session of our AI Tech & Policy Talks that will take place online on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, from 12:15 to 2:00 pm.
