AIvolution, Assessing the Potential and Impact of AI and Digital Technologies in the EU

As automation and digitalisation become more pervasive, understanding their social implications, opportunities and risks, as well as appropriate policies and regulatory needs, require increasing inter-disciplinary efforts. This paper describes the motivation, format and outcomes of the AIvolution event about AI and digital technologies, organized in the European Parliament (EP) on November 2023, for that purpose. It presents the main topics addressed, the key contributions that were presented, the discussions that took place, and the main takeaways, as well as the perspectives to continue these exchanges in further initiatives.
