AI Act vs Innovation? Breaking the Myth Between Governance and Real-World AI

As companies accelerate AI adoption, a persistent tension remains: governance is often perceived as a barrier to innovation, while technical teams face challenges in translating regulatory expectations into practice.

Bringing together perspectives from AI governance and real-world AI development, this session challenges this narrative. Through practical examples and field experience, we will explore where the real friction lies, how companies can build on existing governance frameworks, and what it takes to foster effective collaboration between legal, compliance and technical teams.

Our aim is to move beyond theoretical compliance toward operational, scalable AI governance that actively enables innovation.

What you will learn:

• Understand the gap between policy and implementation and how to bridge it effectively.

• Discover how structured governance drives clarity, trust and scalability, and how to align governance and AI teams.

• Gain actionable insights and approaches to strengthen cross-functional collaboration.
