Beyond the Hype: A Debate on AI, Regulation and Risk

AI is now an everyday business tool, and staff are using it faster than internal policies can keep up, while the regulatory picture keeps shifting. The EU AI Act is being phased in and amended, the UK is staying regulator-led, and organisations working across both face overlapping and sometimes diverging expectations. This VinciWorks panel debates what that means in practice.

It covers where AI adoption really stands, what the EU AI Act requires now and how it reaches UK organisations selling into or operating in the EU, and the UK approach to oversight, data protection and automated decisions. It also looks at shadow AI and acceptable use, who owns AI risk and what regulators expect you to evidence, how to build and measure AI literacy training, and what agentic AI means for liability.

VinciWorks sells compliance training, and one panellist is from an AI accounting software company, so expect training and tooling to feature in the discussion.
