Europe is laying the foundations for its digital future. From artificial intelligence and data governance, to digital accessibility and platform liability, a new regulatory landscape is reshaping the way technology is designed, deployed and regulated across the continent. In recent years, HQ has turned its attention to technological progress and the cryptic new world of AI. Data-based systems and generative AI tools are essential and useful resources for managing events and associations, but they cannot replace human supervision.

In this issue, we explore these regulatory changes from multiple perspectives. Our interview with Maryrose Lyons from the AI Institute outlines the practical and ethical dimensions of AI adoption. Our conversation with Cvent’s Nick Tinker highlights how AI tools can help organisations streamline workflows while remaining compliant. 

The International Fact Checking Network brings together members from all over the world at its GlobalFact Conference in support of information integrity and the global fight against disinformation, supporting fact-checkers through networking, training and collaboration in favour of the truth.

Similarly, the European Digital Media Observatory supports the independent community working to combat disinformation at European level. The Secretary General, Paula Gori, draws attention to the risks of AI in this sensitive topic.

For older age groups, the dangers of a rapid digital transition raise concerns that go beyond usability, including fraud and manipulation of those who are not digitally literate. AGE Platform Europe has been advocating to the EU for a wider range of options that include both digital and offline. Without forgetting our features on NETNOCON25 or the World Design Congress in London.

Association conferences are one of the few areas that interact with every other sector in the world. This HQ #120 aims to give you and your organisation the insights and right context to navigate Europe’s changing digital environment and AI milestones. Especially when it has never been so difficult to separate a lie from the truth!
