As Artificial Intelligence systems become increasingly embedded in business processes and digital infrastructures, ensuring compliance with European regulations is no longer optional.
The AI Act, Reg. (UE) 1689/2024, together with EU copyright rules, introduces new requirements around transparency, data provenance and accountability, particularly in relation to the use of protected content in training datasets.
This talk explores how these regulatory frameworks impact the design and deployment of AI systems, with a specific focus on intellectual property and copyright compliance.
Moving beyond legal theory, it highlights the practical challenges organizations face when building or adopting AI solutions in Europe.
