The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) Director delivered a high‑level address on artificial‑intelligence governance at the Privacy Symposium in Venice on 20 April. She highlighted that compliance with fundamental rights is mandatory under EU law and called for fundamental‑rights impact assessments, building on FRA’s work on AI and its recent report “Assessing high‑risk AI”. She stressed the importance of oversight and announced an upcoming meeting with Article 77 bodies under the AI Act to discuss challenges and best practices. The Director also emphasized international cooperation, welcoming contributions from other speakers. During the event she met with the European Data Protection Supervisor, Wojciech Wiewiórowski, and Ireland’s Data Protection Commissioner Dale Sunderland and Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle.
