The European AI, Data, Robotics Forum (ADRF) is the annual community gathering event organised by the AI, Data and Robotics Association (Adra) in collaboration with the European Commission to inspire and advance European ADR in its broadest context including Industry, Research and Policymakers. 

While the AI, Data, and Robotics Forum (ADRF) covers an extensive array of topics, the theme of the 2024 edition of ADRF will be ‘European Sovereignty in AI, Data and Robotics’. ADRF24 will be globally focused, bringing together policymakers from across the world to discuss the implications of this technology, helping to establish Europe as a thought-leader and progressive player in managing their development. All in all, global collaboration will be a central tenant of the event’s purpose.


The theme of the 2024 edition of ADRF will be European Sovereignty in AI, Data and Robotics. 

 

Innovation and competitiveness are drivers for Europe's growth as a though-leader, a global collaborator and progressive player in developing responsible ADR technologies. European sovereignty relies on a robust digital economy where Europe leads globally in technological standards and practices, while derisking its digital infrastructure from external dependencies.

 

The program contains visionary keynotes and thought-provoking panels on European sovereignty in ADR, as well as a series of parallel sessions on key industrial and societal topics. It also provides the AI, Data, Robotics community with the opportunity to highlight emerging topics and gather critical mass to drive them forward. Furthermore, the event is about sharing and connecting through an exhibition and poster displays throughout the event, and there will be opportunities for businesses and projects to present themselves.

Join us at ADRF as we engage in insightful discussions and exchange ideas on European Sovereignty in AI, Data and Robotics. Together, we will foster responsible innovation and explore the limitless possibilities of this technology while safeguarding our shared values for a prosperous future.

Objectives

  • Share expert visions on the EU landscape on generative AI and Foundation Models (including LLMs), and inform the general public about recent developments and outlook, in particular in the ADR context.
  • Identify opportunities for Europe to (globally) position itself as a world leader in the ADR domain.
  • Facilitate the convergence and synergies between stakeholder communities to move the European AI, Data and Robotics agenda forward.
  • Bring the ADR communities together and recruit new industry members to join Adra.
  • Discuss the opportunities, the fantasies, and the actual threats brought by these technologies to our society.
