A Dialogue on AI and Data Governance When the World is Watching—a Deliberation with Early-Career Researchers

In this interactive workshop, early-stage researchers (ESRs) take the stage to present their cutting-edge work on AI and data governance—ranging from regulatory divergence and risk-based oversight to algorithmic transparency and ethical concerns. Further, renowned experts will explore the challenges and opportunities for ESRs to engage in the global digital regulatory space. Bringing together voices from research, policy, and practice, the session invites participants to actively engage in discussions that bridge theory and implementation. With experts from academia, industry, civil society, and EU institutions in the room, this workshop offers a unique space for dialogue on the future of responsible and evidence-based digital governance in the EU and beyond.
