Panel: Regulation, trust & governance in product building
As AI capabilities accelerate and regulatory frameworks evolve, product teams face growing pressure to balance innovation with responsibility. From the EU AI Act and data privacy requirements to transparency, accountability, and user trust, governance is no longer just a legal concern — it is a product challenge. But in a global market, product leaders must also navigate an uneven landscape: while European businesses face growing regulatory scrutiny, competitors in other geographies are often moving faster with fewer constraints. Join industry leaders as they explore how product organisations can respond to this complexity while continuing to deliver value, move quickly, and earn customer trust. Expect practical insights on balancing compliance, risk, and innovation in the age of AI — as well as the commercial realities of model dependency, pricing power, and building products that remain resilient as the market shifts.
