Join us on Tuesday 11 November for an exclusive event examining both the practical implementation of AI in business and the rapidly developing regulatory environment in Ireland.

What to expect

We're delighted to welcome Maryrose Lyons, founder of the AI Institute, as our keynote speaker to kick off the morning.

Session 1: AI in practice - deployment, governance & contracting

Speakers: Xuyang Zhu, Lynda Nyhan and Alejandro Touriño (ECIJA).

  • Discover how leading organisations are leveraging AI today.
  • Hear first-hand from our experts about building robust governance frameworks.
  • Unpack the key contracting and licensing pitfalls – and how to avoid them.
  • Explore how to use AI fairly and transparently in the workplace, minimising bias while maximising value.

Session 2: AI at a crossroads - the relationship between regulation & investment in AI

Speakers: Jo Joyce, Craig Whelan (CCPC), Laura Gleeson (Brightflag), Cathal Ryan (DPC), and Saurabh Kumar (Sure Valley Ventures).

  • Navigate the new regulatory frontier: What does the EU AI Act mean for you? How will global trends shape your strategy?
  • Understand how regulatory certainty (or uncertainty) impacts investment decisions and what smart businesses are doing now.
  • Gain practical tips on balancing compliance with innovation, managing risk across borders, and conducting effective due diligence when investing in AI.

The event will qualify for two hours of general CPD with the Law Society of Ireland.
