AI Policy × Innovation: Europe’s Hard Choices on AI Implementation

On March 23, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM, the event “AI Policy × Innovation: Europe’s Hard Choices on AI Implementation” will take place at Ojin AixHaus, Chausseestraße 36, 10115 Berlin. Organized by the Hertie School AI Policy Initiative as part of the CIVICA EU AI Hack, the event brings together a curated group of practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and technologists to discuss the realities of implementing AI in Europe.

The discussion focuses on three key areas: public infrastructure and technological sovereignty, accountability in automated decision-making, and democratic resilience in the face of AI-driven disinformation. Instead of traditional presentations, the format emphasizes interactive exchange through a panel discussion, small group conversations, open Q&A, and networking to surface practical insights and real-world perspectives.
