Austrian Lawyers Gear Up for AI Revolution with Landmark Training & Event – Breaking News for Google
Linz, Austria – November 1, 2024 – The legal landscape is shifting dramatically, and Austrian corporate lawyers are taking proactive steps to navigate the complexities of Artificial Intelligence. A groundbreaking event, hosted by SAXINGER Lawyers GmbH in Linz, promises to equip legal professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to understand, evaluate, and safely implement AI within their organizations. This is a breaking news development for businesses operating in Austria and beyond, as the implications of the new AI Regulation (KI-VO) are far-reaching.
Navigating the KI-VO: A Free Opportunity for Legal Professionals
The event, a collaboration between SAXINGER Lawyers GmbH and the Association of Austrian Corporate Lawyers (VUJ), focuses on a practical, constructive approach to the KI-VO, which has been mandatory since February 2025. Instead of dwelling on potential pitfalls, the six-hour event – available both in-person and via livestream – aims to build sustainable competence and address critical questions: How can we understand the technical aspects of AI? How do we legally assess its implementation? And what ethical considerations must be prioritized?
Perhaps most significantly, members of the VUJ will receive a free certificate of completion for AI competency training aligned with Article 4 of the KI-VO. This represents a crucial step for companies seeking to demonstrate compliance and responsible AI adoption. Registration is open until November 14, 2025, and participation is entirely free, making it an accessible resource for legal teams of all sizes.
From Theory to Practice: Real-World AI Implementation Insights
The event isn’t just theoretical. Speakers will share firsthand experiences of implementing the AI-VO. Stefanie Thuiner (myflexbox, VUJ) and Sebastian Hütter (SAXINGER) will detail their journeys – the learnings, the success factors, and, importantly, the challenges encountered. This practical focus is a key differentiator, offering attendees actionable insights they can apply immediately.
Philipp Leitner (SAXINGER) will delve into the legal guardrails surrounding AI, providing a roadmap for legally secure implementation. This is particularly vital given the evolving nature of AI law and the potential for significant penalties for non-compliance. Understanding these boundaries is no longer optional; it’s a business imperative.
Beyond the Legal: Ethical Considerations and Future Trends
The event also recognizes that AI isn’t solely a legal issue. Manuel Wolfsteiner, an ISO-certified AI manager and trainer at WKO/WIFI, will provide essential technical foundations, explore the ethical dimensions of AI, and offer a glimpse into future developments. This holistic approach acknowledges the need for a broader understanding of AI’s impact on business and society.
The rise of AI is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace. For legal professionals, this means adapting to new regulations, understanding emerging technologies, and advising clients on the responsible use of AI. Events like this one are critical for bridging the knowledge gap and ensuring that Austria remains at the forefront of innovation while upholding ethical and legal standards. The focus on practical implementation, combined with the free training and certification, positions this event as a vital resource for any organization navigating the AI revolution. Staying informed and proactive is no longer a competitive advantage – it’s a necessity for survival in the modern business world.
