SUMMARY:Online Roundtable: Digital Sovereignty in the EU and the UK
DESCRIPTION:Free\, signup required \nRegistration link: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/technologyinternetpolicygrouptip/1722649 \n  \nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm BST / 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm CEST \nLocation: Online – Zoom (link will be provided upon free registration to the event on Ticket Tailor) \nOver the past decade\, the intersection of technology policy and geopolitics has fundamentally shifted from peripheral discussions to central strategic debates. The Trump Administration’s aggressive tariff and industrial policies have significantly recast US technology companies as instruments of national power\, intensifying global discussions about digital sovereignty. Within this context\, digital sovereignty\, defined as the control and autonomy over digital infrastructure\, data flows\, and platform governance\, has emerged as a critical strategic imperative for countries and regions alike. \nThis online roundtable\, hosted by the Technology\, Internet\, and Policy Group of the Political Studies Association\, convenes a distinguished group of academic and policy experts to discuss the challenges of digital sovereignty as understood and pursued within the European Union and the United Kingdom. By examining the current legal frameworks\, technological infrastructures\, and strategic policy measures\, participants will dissect how these entities are shaping their digital autonomy in a rapidly evolving geopolitical environment. \nCentral to our discussion is the comparative exploration of approaches by various global actors to digital infrastructure development and digital sovereignty\, encapsulated by our guiding research question: \nHow are different global actors approaching digital sovereignty and digital infrastructure development? \nParticipants will provide insights into ongoing policy developments\, emerging regulatory mechanisms\, and practical strategies adopted in response to global technological competition. The session will highlight best practices\, discuss limitations\, and identify opportunities for enhanced international strategic cooperation across sectors. Through targeted expert presentations and moderated dialogue\, this roundtable aims to foster informed debate\, policy reflection\, and potential collaboration opportunities to strengthen sovereign\, democratic digital infrastructures in the EU\, UK\, and beyond. \n  \n  \nEvent Agenda \nDigital Sovereignty in the EU and the UK \nDate: 25 June 2025 \nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm BST / 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm CEST \nModerator: \nDr. Giulia Sandri\, Associate Researcher\, Cevipol – Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and Research and Development Manager\, the European Citizen Action Service (ECAS) \nAgenda: \n\n2:00 – 2:05 pm (BST) Opening Remarks and Introduction\nDr. Giulia Sandri\, Université Libre de Bruxelles\n\n2:05 – 2:15 pm Digital Sovereignty in Comparative Perspective\nDr. Jessica Morley\, Postdoctoral Research Associate\, Digital Ethics Center\, Yale University\n\n2:15 – 2:25 pm The European Way: A Blueprint for Reclaiming Our Digital Future\nKai Zenner\, Head of Office & Digital Policy Adviser\, European Parliament\n\n2:25 – 2:35 pm Digital Sovereignty and European Security Integration\nProf. Dr. Rocco Bellanova\, Research Professor\, VUB – Law\, Science\, Technology & Society (LSTS)\n\n2:35 – 2:45pm How Europe’s Approach Compares to Other Regions and What Lessons We Can Draw\nMark Scott\, Senior Resident Fellow\, Democracy + Tech Initiative\, Atlantic Council\n\n2:45 – 2:55 pm AI Governance and the Limitations of UK Digital Sovereignty\nHuw Roberts\, Doctoral Researcher\, Oxford Internet Institute / Associate Fellow\, RUSI\n2:55 – 3:00 pm Moderated Roundtable Discussion and Q&A

SUMMARY:Online Panel: AI Regulation in Practice: Compliance and Governance in the EU and UK
DESCRIPTION:Free\, signup required \nRegistration link: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/technologyinternetpolicygrouptip/1478844 \n  \nThe PSA Specialist Group on Technology\, Internet\, and Politics (PSA TIP) is delighted to invite you to an engaging online panel discussion on “AI Regulation in Practice: Compliance and Governance in the EU and UK.” As the EU and UK continue to shape their regulatory frameworks for artificial intelligence\, understanding how these regulations work in practice is essential for policymakers\, businesses\, and civil society. \nIn this panel\, we will explore the evolving landscape of AI regulation\, focusing specifically on the implementation timeline and compliance requirements of the EU AI Act\, which aims to establish a harmonized framework for the safe and trustworthy use of AI across Europe. We will discuss also the ongoing procedures for setting up the AI Act governance framework (AI Pact\, GPAI Code of Practice\, AI Office\, national authorities). The discussion will also touch on the ongoing debates surrounding the UK’s AI Bill\, which seeks to craft an AI regulatory approach distinct from the EU while balancing innovation and governance. \nThis event will bring together leading experts to explore the challenges and opportunities of implementing AI regulation\, focusing on compliance procedures and effective governance practices across Europe and the UK. Key questions will include: What are the best strategies for ensuring compliance with the EU AI Act? How will the timeline for the Act’s implementation affect businesses across the EU? How are UK stakeholders adapting to the evolving discussions around the UK’s AI Bill? What role do ethics and transparency play in AI governance? \nOur panelists will share their insights into the practical implications of AI governance\, offering perspectives from think tanks\, academia\, and NGOs active in shaping AI policy. Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the current regulatory environment and how it impacts the development and deployment of AI technologies in various sectors. \nWhether you are a policymaker\, industry professional\, academic\, or simply interested in the future of AI governance\, this panel will provide valuable insights into how regulations are being shaped and implemented on both sides of the Channel. \nDate: 18 December 2024 \nTime: 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm BST / 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm CET \nOnline: Zoom  (link will be provided upon free registration to the event on Ticket Tailor) \n  \nPanellists: \n\nConnor Dunlop – European Public Policy Lead\, Ada Lovelace Institute (UK)\nTekla Emborg – EU Fellow\, Future of Life Institute\nFrancesca Fanucci – Senior Legal Advisor\, ECNL | European Center for Not-For-Profit Law Stichting (NL)\nInga Ulnicane – Research Fellow\, University of Birmingham\n\nChair and moderator: Giulia Sandri\, Technology\, Internet\, and Politics Group & Research Fellow and Scientific Advisor & Research fellow\, Université libre de Bruxelles\, Belgium
