Workshop: Are we really ready? Mapping AI ethics and readiness risks in EDIH led technology transfer

Format:In-personLocation:Studio 204, 2 Floor

During this session, participants will test a concise, reusable tool to map AI ethics and AI‑readiness risks in their own EDIH technology‑transfer and innovation‑support activities. Through a live mini-questionnaire and small-group discussions, they will identify concrete issues such as shadow AI, unclear data-use rules, biased or opaque support, and missing internal capabilities. The session will conclude by co‑creating ideas for an internal AI Helpdesk function at EDIH's level and presenting a one‑page template that EDIHs can take home, reuse locally, and feed into shared instruments and templates at the network level.
