Europe’s AI strategy is entering a new phase. While the EU AI Act introduces the world’s first comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, the European Commission is also pushing for wider AI adoption through its “Apply AI” strategy. For builders and architects, the question is no longer only how to comply, but how to design AI systems that are transparent, trustworthy and adaptable across jurisdictions.
In this second webinar of our ‘Europe’s Digital Direction for Builders’ series, we explore how Europe’s approach to open source, AI governance and digital sovereignty shapes the way modern AI platforms are built.
Register to watch on-demand this session dedicated to builders, architects and technical leaders who want to understand what the AI Act means in practice. We will look at how open and flexible architectures enable organisations to build AI systems that remain cloud agnostic, data portable and model agnostic, while supporting the observability, traceability and governance required for high risk AI use cases.
The session also includes a live demonstration showing how teams can monitor AI systems, trace LLM calls and build auditable AI workflows using open architectures.
- What the EU AI Act means for builders: A practical walkthrough of how the AI Act applies to developers, deployers and integrators, including new obligations around documentation, monitoring, transparency and reporting.
- High risk AI systems in practice: Why many common enterprise use cases fall into the high risk category, such as credit scoring, healthcare decision support or eligibility for social services, and what technical capabilities teams need to support them.
- Open source as Europe’s strategic foundation for AI: How open ecosystems enable organisations to remain cloud agnostic, data portable and model agnostic while avoiding vendor lock in.
- From regulation to adoption, Europe’s “Apply AI” strategy: How the EU is shifting from regulating AI to actively encouraging responsible adoption across industries.
- AI governance in practice: Live demo on how modern architectures enable traceability of LLM calls, observability of AI systems and auditable workflows required for regulated environments
