Why This Webinar Matters
AI in education is rapidly expanding, from student admissions to adaptive learning platforms. But with opportunity comes responsibility: the EU AI Act and broader regulatory landscape demand systems that are safe, transparent, and auditable.
Trust isn’t just about ticking compliance boxes. It is about creating guardrails that enable responsible experimentation and innovation. When designed well, governance empowers developers to move faster, with fewer risks and greater confidence.
