The FAIR webinar series on the regulatory ecosystem of artificial intelligence returns
Milan, May 2025 – TP1 of the FAIR project launches the second cycle of online meetings dedicated to the evolving European regulatory framework on artificial intelligence: AI Act 1.01 – 2025.
Building on the first edition, the seminar series aims to provide a clear and up-to-date introduction to key topics related to artificial intelligence, explored through the lens of FAIR research. The format is designed to be agile and accessible, even for those without a specialized legal or ethical background. The sessions follow a progressive approach, in continuity with the content covered in the 2024 edition.
The initiative is structured around two main lines of focus:
-
on the one hand, it examines provisions of the AI Act already in force or soon to be applied;
-
on the other, it explores the broader European and Italian regulatory ecosystem in which these rules are embedded, taking into account the rapid evolution of the legislative landscape.
Programme and schedule
The sessions, open to the public and primarily addressed to FAIR researchers, will take place online on Zoom (all meetings accessible via the same link) every Monday from June 9 to June 30, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
