The National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest organized on Sunday, May 17, 2026, the course “Artificial Intelligence in Organizations – Responsible Use, Informed Decision-Making and Governance for Management and Boards of Directors”, dedicated to members of the Independent Directors Association – AAI.
The meeting brought into discussion the increasingly important role of artificial intelligence in decision-making processes, in the management of organizations and in the responsibility of boards of directors. Beyond the potential of AI to support growth, efficiency and innovation, participants also analyzed the operational, legal, reputational and security risks that this technology can generate when it is not integrated into a clear governance framework.
The debate started from an essential question for organizations: how can the advantages of Artificial Intelligence be harnessed without losing control over the associated risks? Before approving an AI-based project, boards of directors must have clear answers on the data used, access controls, supplier security, contractual and legal responsibilities, audit mechanisms, traceability, and the integration of AI into risk management.
Through this course, ICI Bucharest contributes to a necessary dialogue between the research environment, the private sector and the management structures of organizations, in a context in which the responsible adoption of AI is becoming increasingly relevant for competitiveness and safety.
How can public authorities use artificial intelligence and other digital technologies to improve services for citizens? This was one of the topics addressed at Smart City Expo World Congress 2026, held from 3 to 5 November in Barcelona, where the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest was also present.
Public institutions manage large volumes of data, but this information is not always easy to access or use in decision-making. Data is often spread across different systems, making information sharing between institutions a challenge. These issues were discussed at AdvanceGov 2026, an event attended by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest.
Analyzing cryptocurrency transactions may require correlating information from different sources and tools. How these can be integrated to support digital forensic investigations was the focus of the dissemination event “Cryptoassets and Digital Forensics: Integrated Solutions for Investigations”, organized by ICI Bucharest on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
