Joint Conference on Data and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for surveillance and risk assessment in food safety, animal and plant health

Information

The rapid advancement of AI, coupled with the expanding availability of omics and surveillance data, is transforming the landscape of food safety, animal, and plant health systems.

This conference will explore how AI and advanced omic sciences (genomics, metagenomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, etc.) can revolutionize detection, monitoring, and surveillance across the food supply chain. It will also address the integration of AI-based technologies to enhance risk assessment, predictive modelling, and data-driven decision-making.

With the adoption of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), discussions will emphasize transparency, robustness, and responsible AI use. Participants will gain insights from European institutions such as EFSA, ANSES, BfR, DTU-Food as well as international institutions and academic experts on the current state of AI development-clarifying expectations versus real-world capabilities and drawbacks.

Join us to shape the future of AI-powered, science-driven health surveillance systems !

Date: Thursday 29/10/2026 (afternoon) - Friday 30/10/2026 (full day).
Location: French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) Headquarters - Maisons-Alfort, a suburb close to Paris, France.
