About the AER Regions Forum | 2 June 2026
Artificial intelligence is changing the way democracy functions. At this turning point, regional policymakers hold the levers to shape AI’s social and political impact on the communities they represent.
From 2 to 4 June 2026, the Assembly of European Regions (AER) and the Timiș County Council will offer regional leaders and stakeholders the opportunity to explore how regions can advance democracy and good governance as the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence gain momentum.
