Registrations Open: NCIA General Counsel Roundtable 2025

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is pleased to invite General Counsels from the private and public sectors, and leading technology law practitioners to the NCIA General Counsel Roundtable 2025. The event will take place from 20 to 21 May 2025, in the NATO Headquarters, in Brussels, Belgium.

The NCIA General Counsel Roundtable brings together legal experts from industry and government sectors in an in-depth exploration of the legal implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the defence and military fields.

The theme of this year’s event is “AI Governance and Law: Impacts on Critical Defence and Security Areas”. Panel discussions will focus on the policymaking, internal governance, accountability aspects and ethical considerations related to the use and implementation of dual-use AI applications. The event will feature a curated mix of keynote addresses, interactive panels with Q&As, and networking opportunities, on the topics of:

• Data privacy and security: legal, privacy and security considerations for AI systems.
• Liability and accountability: where AI systems cause harm or make erroneous decisions in a military or dual-use context.
• Using AI for cybersecurity within military contexts.
• Legal frameworks for AI interoperability amongst Allies.
• Procurement of AI and framework requirements/adaptation.

If you are not a lawyer, but your company specializes in AI applications within the defence sector, please forward this invitation to your General Counsel or Legal Team for their consideration.

NCIA reserves the right to decline applications based on NATO security protocol, venue availability and audience requirements. Applicants will be notified accordingly within one week of submitting their request.
