Towards Policy recommendations in the field of AI and media – AI4Media Stakeholders Consultation
June 21st, 2022 Daniela Lopez de Luise 
On behalf of the European funded project AI4Media, we are happy to invite you to the Stakeholder Consultation on Policy Recommendations in the field of AI and media, which will take place online on June 29, 2022.
Why such a consultation?
AI4Media is aware that the lack of specific policy recommendations regarding the use of AI applications and tools in the media sector could create important challenges for accomplishing the EU's vision of trustworthy AI. To address this issue, the project aims to develop a set of policy recommendations to ensure that the European values of ethical and trustworthy AI will be embedded in future AI deployments in the media sector. AI4Media wants to hear from the various stakeholders (media professionals, research and academia, civil society, NGOs, policy makers) to relay their concerns and include their voices in what will be the initial policy recommendations. The project conducted research on legal, societal, and technical aspects of AI for media applications and this event will also be the opportunity for participants to learn about these research outcomes.
Practical information:
The event is divided in 3 sessions, one for each group of stakeholders, with a 2 hour duration each.
- Session for Media stakeholders: from 10h to 12h CEST
- Session for Civil society, NGOs, Academia: from 13h to 15h CEST
- Session for Policy makers: from 16h to 18h CEST
Each session will start with a presentation about some key takeaways from the following AI4Media research:
- The analysis of the EU policy on AI and the forthcoming Commission’s legislative proposal on AI regulation with a specific focus on AI for media applications.
- The roadmap and foresight on AI technologies and applications in media.
- The assessment of the social/economic/political impact from future advances in AI for media technology and applications.
Following these short presentations, the floor will be open for discussion in order to exchange ideas on the topic and collect feedback, input, best practices, and concerns from stakeholders. The discussion will be moderated by AI4Media partners.
The event will be held according to the Chatham House rule. There will also be the possibility to collect inputs on an anonymous basis.
