#U2SID partners from academia, civil society, and the public sector, got together in Belgrade to discuss #DigitalTransformation in #HigherEducation in the #WesternBalkans focusing on #ArtificialIntelligence, #CyberSecurity, and #DigitalLiteracies.

🌐 The 3rd session of our #AspenWB conference looked to answer the question: how does #digitaltransformation impact #economicdevelopment in the region? Great insights from our speakers Marija Basheska from @FinanceThinkMk, Miloš Parežanin, @blertonabazi and @erjonc! 🇪🇺💻

Emphasizing the need for a strategic policy approach to #AI, it's vital to protect personal data, maintain privacy, and adopt a human-centered approach. This will safeguard rights and freedoms and mitigate the implications of AI. Investing in #ResponsibleAI is the way forward.

The 🇦🇱Prime Minister has announced the adoption of #AI to enhance transparency in public procurement, combat fiscal evasion, and align with EU acquis. Integrating AI into governance is crucial but must adhere to transparency, inclusivity, and participation principles.

On International Anti-Corruption Day, we join over 100 civil society & international organizations calling for greater political finance transparency under the United Nations Convention against Corruption. 🔗 t.ly/8ZXdZ #UnitedAgainstCorruption #UNCAC20 #IACD2023

The three EU institutions have reached a political agreement on the AI Act, a momentous piece of legislation that can make or break Europe’s tech leadership. The next steps and implications for our region need to be closely observed 🔗 digitaleurope.org/news/23173/
