The first part of the webinar laid the groundwork by discussing the European AI Act’s objectives, its innovative risk-based approach, and the governance structures that will ensure its effective implementation. This session built on that foundation, providing deeper insights into specific obligations and regulatory requirements.

This two-part seminar series is just the beginning of a series of webinars on Pillar I of the AI Pact. In 2025, the AI Office will continue to explore these topics in greater detail with additional sessions focusing on High-risk AI requirements. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and insights necessary to navigate and contribute to the responsible development of AI in Europe.
