On 15 and 16 March 2022, the European Commission through its International Outreach project for a Human-Centric Approach to Artificial Intelligence (InTouchAI.eu) organised "European AI Excellence and Trust in the World" at World EXPO in Dubai 2022. Several EU Member States connected their AI related projects and artistic installations to form a European AI Walk Exhibition, initiated in the frame of the event.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to thank you for your valuable contribution and participation, be it in person or online to this event!

The human-centric approach in current global discussions on the regulation and governance of AI is central to the responsible development of trustworthy AI in the world. The building blocks we lay down today will be the foundation of our future societies.
