Law & Order — Cross Examining AI's Legal Boundaries

As AI technologies rapidly evolve, the laws and ethical standards designed to govern them lag behind, creating a mismatch in the pace of innovation and regulation. This misalignment often leads to inadequate alignment with core principles such as trustworthiness, safety, and ethics. For AI leaders, mastering gobernance strategies that drive alignment with these core principles is key to ensuring the organization's risk profile is effectively managed.

Join AI, cybersecurity, and IP law expert Eran Kahana as he offers actionable insights on:

  • Navigating the ethics of cutting-edge AI
  • Deciphering global AI legislation dynamics
  • Mastering AI governance and risk mitigation


Executive Boardroom Sessions

Ensuring Trust and Security in Modern Communications

Join this session to discuss:

  • Strengthening organizational security through robust data protection measures
  • Achieving compliance by aligning with key regulatory standards
  • Enhancing data privacy by protecting and managing user data responsibly
