SUMMARY:AI in Business - Navigating Risk in Adopting a Powerful but Not Well-Understood Technology
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”REGISTER” color=”blue” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fai-in-business-navigating-risk-tickets-793769003457″][vc_column_text]Whether in search of reduced costs\, improved service or simply a sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)\, companies – large and small – are rapidly moving to adopt the increasingly powerful artificial intelligence business tools (“AI”) now available to them.  These companies are using AI both as a standalone technology for specialized use cases and/or embedding it within common enterprise software systems that handle core business processes.\n\nWhile AI can deliver impressive results\, even the CEOs of some major providers of AI tools acknowledge that they do not fully understand the behavior of this powerful technology.  For example\, AI has a common tendency to “hallucinate”\, a term used in AI-speak to mean make up facts and assert the existence of things\, people or circumstances that are not real.\n\nAlthough a number of countries and regions are developing AI strategies and regulatory frameworks\, the technology\, its benefits\, risks\, and ethical issues it generates are not necessarily well understood by the regulators. 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. The workshop will be held on Wednesday February 14 in the morning and is free of charge. During this workshop\, participants will learn how AI technologies can be applied to solve existing business problems. The workshop is free of charge. Registrations on a first come first serve basis.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR I Quarterly EU Economic Update for 2024 Converging on a Soft Landing
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join EACCNY for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released Autumn 2023 Economic Forecast.\n\nThe US economy has grown faster than the European Union’s for the past five quarters. There are a variety of reasons for the discrepancy in performance between the EU and the US\, including the trade and resulting energy price shock in Europe prompted by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine; fiscal policy and the lingering effects of pandemic era stimulus programs; as well labor market dynamics.\n\nThe latest forecast shows that the third quarter may have marked the peak of this growth divergence\, as US economic growth accelerated while GDP in Europe held steady. Yet US growth is projected to slow over the course of next year\, while in the EU growth is set to pick up.\n\nThe panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-November and weigh the prospects for European and global growth\, interest rates\, inflation\, budget deficits\, the state of transatlantic and global sovereign debt developments\, and energy prices in the context of increasing geo-political risks.\n\n \n\nSPEAKERS:\n\n 	Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, DELEGATION of the EU to the U.S.\n 	Maddalena Perretti\, Economist – Advisor\, ECB REPRESENTATION to the U.S.\n 	Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM ET | 19:00h – 20:00h CET\n\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nEvent organized in partnership with:\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
