Governing Artificial Intelligence with Adam Thierer

RSVP

On Thursday 9th June we will be welcoming Adam Thierer to give an evening lecture titled Governing Artificial Intelligence.

Following on from his essay 'The Proper Governance Default for AI', Adam Thierer will be discussing why it is so essential to get our policy defaults set properly if we hope to encourage entrepreneurialism and growth.

Adam will comment on recent artificial intelligence policy in the EU and how the UK and US can chart a wiser course by avoiding the the heavy-handed, precautionary principle-based approach that the EU is set to impose via the new AI Act and other cumbersome regulations.
