Panel II |
The energy and climate crisis calls for reviewing measurement in digitalization. Data centre infrastructures need individual optimization, whereas IT services in PA need to encounter consolidation and standardisation issues. More efficiency and more energy-conscious manners for IT infrastructures are a must, while broadening. For this, IT-security is essential when consolidating and bundling IT-services. This is the only way to provide secure and sustainable infrastructures. | Presentations and panel discussion

Panel III |
AI can help the public sector to cushion the increasingly complex requirements and the rapid loss of knowledge due to demographic developments. Use cases are diverse, from fraud prevention, detection of forged documents, and to anonymization. However, we need to establish an essential legal framework including ethical considerations for the application of AI. AI knowledge must be built up within PA to stay sovereign of AI matters and to prevent relinquishing control beyond European agencies. | Presentations and panel discussion
