The EU AI Act – Opportunities, Challenges and Perspectives

Is the EU AI Act a regulatory burden or a competitive advantage for Europe? And how does it affect Switzerland? 

The EU AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence — a bold attempt to turn Europe’s values into rules for the digital age. But beyond the legal text, what does it really mean for innovation, responsibility, and trust in AI? How will it shape the daily work of professionals in cybersecurity, governance, and technology — and what new opportunities might it unlock?

Join us to explore what’s at stake as AI moves from experimentation to regulation.

We warmly invite you to an engaging panel discussion on the EU AI Act, exploring its opportunities, challenges, and implications for practice. Following the discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the five co-hosting organizations and their work at the intersection of security, technology, governance, and society:

• ISACA Switzerland Chapter
• CYREN^ZH
• DSI Community Cybersecurity
• DSI Community AI Law
• ETH Cyber Group

The evening will conclude with an apéro and networking session, offering space to continue the conversation in an informal setting, exchange ideas, and connect with peers from different disciplines.
