THE SCHEDULE
21 June 2026
University of Maastricht (Room B0.001)
As learning objectives, participants will learn to operationalize explainability requirements using the CEN/CENELEC JTC 21 AI trustworthiness framework (prEN 18229-1) currently under development, addressing the practical complications of implementing explainability within confidentiality and proportionality bounds. Relations to similar standards, such as ISO/IEC 12792, will be considered. It is worth noting that this hands-on tutorial moves beyond theoretical frameworks to provide implementable solutions for AI practitioners facing compliance deadlines. For example, participants will master the technical interpretation of EU AI Act transparency requirements across different risk categories, apply the forthcoming AI trustworthiness standard's transparency clause to real systems. Moreover, the tutorial emphasizes practical template development for Article 13 compliance documentation through technical evidence, ensuring participants leave with actionable frameworks for their organizations.
