The explainability of decisions adopted by AI is a growing concern as shown by the increasing stream of research on explainable AI (XAI) which aims to reduce the trade-off between explainability and predictive efficiency of AI algorithms.

As the new European leadership develops legislation for a coordinated European approach to Artificial Intelligence, this public seminar will debate whether the current EU rules imposing explainability of AI decisions are relevant and consistent with each other and if they should evolve to strengthen the explainability of automated decisions.

This event will bring together key actors from the digital sector, including representatives of platforms, telecom operators, regulatory authorities, policy-makers, journalists and academic experts, for an afternoon of stimulating discussions.

Confirmed speakers to-date include academics and representatives from:

• Ofcom
• Facebook
• Microsoft
• Vodafone
• Vrije Universiteit Brussels
