Organised by DiploFoundation
As part of the Digital Democracy for All (DD4ALL) initiative that Diplo is implementing in collaboration with GIZ and Partneri Srbija, this inaugural event united Serbia’s broader AI ecosystem, spanning civil society, independent public bodies, academia, the private sector, and media.
The meet-up serves as a foundational platform to map existing and emerging policies, ethical guidelines, and standards. By identifying common challenges and needs, the event aims to stimulate the initial exchanges necessary to build a robust, human-centred policy framework for AI in Serbia.
