As AI agents handle more of a company’s main activities, leaders at the highest level must answer to regulators, stakeholders, and the market.

Due to executive orders, industry rules, and changing laws around the world, responsible AI governance now sits at the boardroom level.\nThe Critical Role of Human-in-the-Loop in Executive Strategy Human-in-the-loop, often called HITL , forms the base of responsible AI. When you add human checks at important stages in the AI process, your organisation lowers risks, tackles ethical questions, and keeps a firm grip on outcomes. HITL does more than act as a technical control. It connects AI decisions directly to executive responsibility and the values of the company.\nAligning Innovation with Trust and Compliance When you set up HITL , you keep your AI systems open to review and ready to change when needed.

It aligns AI development with European values, focusing on transparency, fairness, and accountability.\nThe AI Act stands out due to its wide scope, regulating AI systems based on risk levels and applications. It applies to AI systems created within the EU and those marketed, used, or whose outputs affect the EU. This approach ensures that any AI impacting EU citizens or businesses meets the same high standards, regardless of where it is developed.\nScope and Coverage of the AI Act The AI Act covers various stakeholders in the AI ecosystem, including:\nProviders: Organisations that develop and supply AI systems under their brand.

Slovakia has grown to become one of the leading car producers in world, primarily thanks to the presence of three world-class automotive companies being established in Slovakia: Volkswagen Slovakia in Bratislava (since 1991), PSA Peugeot Citroën Slovakia in Trnava (since 2003), Kia Motors Slovakia in Žilina (since 2004) and Jaguar Land Rover in Nitra (since 2016).\nThe automotive components industry in Slovakia has flourished hand in hand with the rise in automotive production. More car component makers are constantly shifting their operations to Slovakia, to the various industrial parks set up near Bratislava, Trnava, Žilina, Martin and Nitra. Automotive parts production plants have increased the value of their production more than tenfold within the last decade.

The defence sector opportunity is shaped by several key drivers, including the end of the Afghani mission, the Ukraine crisis, growing regional instability in the Middle East and continued defence integration within the EU \u0026 NATO.\nAcross Central and Eastern Europe, nations are seeking to adapt their armed forces to the new security and strategic situation and to the demands from the EU \u0026 NATO to modernise and harmonize programmes to achieve interoperability with other NATO countries. This includes purchase of ammunition, tactical communication and navigation systems.\nAfter years of cuts, defence budgets are, in general, being increased. Poland plans to increase its defence budget up to 2% of GDP; while the Czech Republic seeks to increase spending from 1.08% GDP up to 1.4% in the near future; and Hungary proposes to add 0.1% of GDP to its budget annually.

ICT plays an important role in the Slovak economy as well. As the average monthly wage in the ICT sector exceeded EUR 1,700 in 2012, it is not surprising that an ICT employee pays approximately two times higher taxes as an average employee in Slovakia. The ICT sector, employing more than 40 000 people and with a significant share of social, health and tax payments, as well as the growth of productivity, is therefore an important pillar of the economy. The period during which the new EU members gained ground by means of low labour cost is coming to an end. If they want to expand dynamically in the future, they have to increase productivity and ICT plays a significant role in this area. It has a great potential for economic growth and post-crisis economy recovery.\nEuropean strategy called Digital Agenda 2020 accredits 50% share of economic growth of the EU in the course of the last 15 years to ICT, and regards the sector as the main engine of the post-crisis convalescence.
