Watch out for an Open Seminar!
We are thrilled to invite you to an open seminar held by Alessandro Rosanò, a Senior Assistant Professor of European Union Law at the University of Parma (Italy). Join us as he explores the fascinating topic:
🌐 ‘From Farm to Fork to AI: Rethinking Food Safety in the European Union’
📍Date: Wednesday, 30th September 2026
📍Time: 11:00-12:30
📍Language: English
📍Venue: Building D, Room 2.02, Uniwersytecka 7-10 (Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wroclaw).
ℹ️ Description of the topic: The seminar focuses on the legal implications arising from the use of artificial intelligence in the agri-food sector, with particular attention to food safety profiles. Artificial intelligence systems are increasingly perceived and described as a challenge to fundamental rights. However, in the area in question they can lead to a strengthening of consumer protection, promoting the rapid identification of risks and the traceability of food. On the other hand, the use of such technologies raises sensitive issues regarding the liability of economic operators, who may be reluctant to introduce them for fear of exposing themselves to legal consequences. Therefore, the European Union legislation on food safety and liability for defective products is taken into account in order to argue that, in light of the state of available scientific knowledge, there is an obligation for operators in the sector to implement technologies based on artificial intelligence and to share relevant information with consumers.
