This event is organised by Living-in.EU during the European Week of Regions and Cities - Close to You.

As public administrations adopt AI and algorithmic systems to improve services, concerns around transparency, accountability, and trust grow. This interactive session explores how cities and regions can responsibly deploy AI while ensuring public oversight and ethical safeguards. Through real examples and interactive discussions participants will examine practical ways to balance innovation with citizens’ rights.
