AI Week 2025: A Week to Explore, Debate, and Innovate with AI

The AI Week is dedicated to exploring the latest trends, opportunities, and challenges surrounding Artificial Intelligence. Since its launch in 2021, EU AI Week has been a significant event, bringing together AI experts, developers, policymakers, and citizens to foster collaboration and spark exciting conversations about the future of AI. This year promises even more inspiring debates, innovative projects, and groundbreaking ideas as we continue to dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence.

Held annually, the AI Week has become a key moment for both local and international stakeholders to come together and discuss the various dimensions of AI. Organised under the initiative of FPS BOSA, in collaboration with AI4Belgium and its network of partners, this event provides a unique platform to explore AI’s role in society, business, and governance.

This year’s edition highlights two key themes:

• The Future of Society
• Innovating with AI

B12’s Contribution to AI Week 2025

We are excited to share that we are once again contributing to AI Week with a series of sessions, events, and thought-provoking presentations. As a key player in the AI community, B12 is dedicated to supporting discussions that will shape the future of AI technology.

Our involvement includes our participation events as moderators or speakers that align with this year's core themes, such as:

• Tuesday 18/03/25 at 1pm: The future of AI is collaborative (Online)

AI is no longer just about automation—it’s about transformation. While 80% of AI initiatives fail to scale, the real opportunity lies beyond isolated tools. Agentic AI introduces a new era where humans and AI work together, not just as assistants but as co-intelligent teams. From legal experts to call centers, AI is shifting from automating tasks to amplifying human potential. This is not digital transformation—it’s AI transformation. The question is no longer what AI can do, but how we can work with it.

• Tuesday 18/03/25 at 10:30am (in French): Atelier : « Sensibilisation à l’AI Act et au Data Governance Act» (On site)

L’EU AI Act est une réglementation européenne qui a été publiée l’été 2024 et entre en vigueur progressivement. Son but est d’offrir un cadre régulatoire clair pour les projets d’intelligence artificielle, avec une attention particulière pour les projets touchant à des fonctions critiques pour notre société (production, mobilité, santé, …).

Cet atelier, organisé conjointement par Multitel et B12 Consulting, a pour objectif de sensibiliser les participants aux implications réglementaires de l’AI Act et du Data Act, et leur fournir les outils pratiques pour intégrer ces exigences dans leurs projets de développement en intelligence artificielle.

Orateurs : Vanessa Vanwesemael & Olivier Ratenon
