The European Union adopted the AI Act in August 2024 and starting in February 2025, AI systems with unacceptable risk will be banned from Europe. Furthermore, in August 2026, high-risk AI systems will have to comply with requirements related to risk management, data quality, governance, logging and traceability, technical documentation, transparency, human oversight, accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity.
Currently, the European standardisation organisations CEN and CENELEC are drafting the necessary European AI standards on critical areas and this can shape the way AI is developed in the future.
To support companies and organisations in navigating these changes, Danish Standards, SIS (Sweden), Standard Norge (Norway), SFS (Finland), and Staðlaráð Íslands (Iceland), created this webinar exploring the current regulatory landscape and what lies ahead.
Welcome from the organisers
Join representatives from national standardisation bodies in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland that will say welcome.
