The use of AI by organizations – especially generative AI – is increasingly prompting questions around intellectual property\, data privacy\, discrimination\, litigation\, transparency\, ethics\, and regulation which largely remain unanswered.\n\nThis program will look at some of the key issues companies involved in transatlantic business are facing as it relates to the use of AI\, how regulatory frameworks are being developed on both sides of the Atlantic\, and how companies can manage risk in the still muddled AI waters.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Evi Fuelle\, Global Policy Director – Credo AI\n Laura Juanes Micas\, VP\, Privacy Officer – Restaurant Brands International\n Oleksii Yaremenko\, Director\, Global Services – LeverX\n David Zetoony\, Co-Chair\, U.S. Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice – Greenberg Traurig\n Alan Sutin\, Chair Technology\, Media & Telecommunications Practice and Senior Chair Global Intellectual Property & Technology Practice – Greenberg Traurig\, and President – EACC Florida [Moderator]\n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\n What are some of the major benefits offered by this technology?\n What are the known drawbacks and risks?\n Legal and regulatory environment for companies that plan to use AI in the US\, EU & beyond\n\n US: laws or regulations on the books at the federal or state level regulating AI\n EU: AI Act & related regulatory frameworks\n Latin America and other parts of the world\n Impact of emergence of AI technologies on existing laws that are not specific to AI (eg. privacy\, employment\, etc)\n\n\n What are the high-level issues that companies should be aware of in order to mitigate risks when using AI in an uncertain regulatory environment?\n\nEvent schedule\n4.30 PM – 5.00 PM:        Registration\n5.00 PM – 6.00 PM:        Program\n6.00 PM – 6.30 PM:        Networking\n\nRegistration\nEACC Member: Free\nGuest with Promo Code: Free\nEACC Non-Member: $30\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nSPECIAL NOTE: if you are attending this program\, you and colleagues from your company are invited to register for a Design Thinking Workshop powered by LeverX.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Please join us on May 22 for this program which is part of our recurring Quarterly EU Economic Updates.\n\nThe European Union has weathered the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine much better than expected. The commodity price shock of 2022 is now a thing of the past\, as Europe has pivoted away from Russian imports of oil and natural gas with amazing speed. Not only has the EU avoided energy shortages\, but gas prices have now fallen below pre-war levels. This resilience has allowed the EU to shrug off fears of a recession and continue its economic expansion.\n\nGrowth in 2023 is likely to be stronger than expected just a few months ago. Historically strong labor markets\, improving consumer confidence\, and solid corporate profits are all working to keep the expansion on track\, even in the face of continuing headwinds from the war. Though inflation remains too high\, it is now coming down and should continue to ease in the months ahead. The EU is making massive investments in the green and digital transitions\, which will secure Europe’s energy independence\, support growth and innovation\, and promote a cleaner\, healthier environment.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released Spring 2023 Economic Forecast. Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-May and weigh the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risk factors.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n• Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n• Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\nOther speaker(s) will be announced soon.\n\nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM ET | 19:00 – 20:00 CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n \n\nProgram brought to you by EACCNY and organized in partnership with:\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-quarterly-eu-economic-update-sailing-through-calmer-seas/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230516T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230516T140000 DTSTAMP:20260605T094755 CREATED:20230428T142800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230509T201247Z UID:36310-1684242000-1684245600@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:Webinar - Economic Headwinds and the Outlook for Middle Market Businesses DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join RSM US live to hear about the economic headwinds facing companies and how businesses can address ongoing risks and challenges\, from workforce and supply chain challenges to addressing consumer behaviors and profitability.\n\nBonus:  Ask RSM Chief Economist Joe Brusuelas and Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Neil Bradley your questions during the livestream about economic trends\, policy changes and their impact to your business and industry.\n\nSpeakers\n\nJoe Brusuelas\, Chief Economist – RSM\n\nNeil Bradley\, Executive Vice President – U.S. Chamber of Commerce\n\nDate/time\n\nMay 16 at 1 p.m. ET | Noon CT\n\nClick here for further details and to register.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program brought to you by [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-economic-headwinds-and-the-outlook-for-middle-market-businesses/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:Partner Events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230422 DTSTAMP:20260605T094755 CREATED:20230323T185550Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230323T185550Z UID:36246-1681948800-1682121599@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:eMERGE Americas 2023 - Special Rate for EACC Florida Members DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nThis year again\, eMerge Americas is back in Miami Beach !\n\nThe eMerge signature event\, launched in 2014\, is a global tech conference held annually at the Miami Beach Convention Center\, attracting more than 16\,000 attendees from 40 countries and over 3\,900 unique participating organizations.\n\nFor the last decade\, eMerge has served as a catalyst for innovation and investment across the Americas\, working at the forefront of building the South Florida entrepreneurial and tech ecosystem.\n\nClick on the logo for Program and Registration details.\n\neMerge is offering a special rate to EACC Florida Members.
