Following our webinar on 15 October 2024, we are continuing the conversation on the EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act and its impact on persons with disabilities. In this new session, the European Disability Forum (EDF) will present an updated version of our practical AI Act Toolkit, designed to support members and civil society organisations in ensuring national implementation of the law is inclusive and rights-based.
The webinar will highlight key disability-related issues within the AI Act, provide guidance on effective advocacy, and share resources to help you engage at national level. We will also explore the importance of building alliances with human rights organisations, equality bodies, and supervisory authorities to strengthen our collective impact.
International Sign and Captioning will be provided. Please note: if no registrant requires captioning and sign language until 5 days before the event, the services may be cancelled.
