The event, blending expertise and insights, offered a comprehensive perspective on the current state and future directions of AI governance.
Insights from AI Policy Experts
Eva Maydell, a leading member of the EU Parliament and an important figure in the AI Intelligence Act, shared valuable insights. She shed light on the broad scope of the 2021 AI Act, highlighting its ongoing evolution and upcoming finalization by the European Parliament. This Act represents a significant step in AI regulatory frameworks, encompassing a wide range of sectors.
Delve, represented by Jeff Berkowitz, Founder and CEO, and Kyle Huwa, Research Manager, added depth to the discussion with their thorough research on the AI regulatory landscape in both the US and the EU. Delve, known for empowering public affairs professionals with actionable intelligence, emphasized the urgency for professionals to navigate the complex political and policy landscape surrounding AI, regardless of their industry.

The webinar focused on the proactive stance of lawmakers in both the EU and USA towards AI. Berkowitz underscored a notable shift in the U.S. Congress, from last year’s listening sessions to legislative drafting efforts this year. This shift indicates a growing recognition of AI’s transformative impact.
