Beyond the Algorithm: AI Ethics and Responsibility in Manufacturing
How European manufacturing projects are balancing innovation, regulation and trustworthy AI.
Why participate? An interactive round table to exchange ideas, experiences and real-world challenges.
When? In July
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping manufacturing ecosystems, enabling smarter automation, predictive systems, advanced analytics and more connected industrial processes. But as AI technologies become increasingly embedded in production environments, new questions emerge around transparency, accountability, data governance and human oversight.
In Europe, the introduction of the EU AI Act and the growing importance of GDPR are redefining the responsibilities of industries, technology providers and research projects working with AI-based solutions. Manufacturing innovation is no longer only about performance and efficiency: it is also about building trustworthy, transparent and human-centred AI systems.
How can AI projects ensure compliance while continuing to innovate? What are the ethical boundaries of AI in industrial environments? And how are European projects already addressing these challenges in practice?
This interactive webinar will explore the evolving ethical and regulatory landscape of AI in manufacturing, combining legal perspectives with concrete experiences from AI4Manufacturing projects. Through expert contributions, real-life case studies and open discussion, participants will reflect on how to develop AI solutions that are not only innovative, but also responsible, explainable and aligned with European values.
