29 – 30 October, 2026

Artificial intelligence (AI), together with the rapidly increasing availability of surveillance and omics data, is transforming the way hazards are detected, monitored and assessed in food safety, animal health and plant health. At the same time, recent regulatory developments, including the European AI Act, highlight the importance of trustworthy, transparent and scientifically robust AI.

This conference will bring together experts from public agencies, academia and research organisations working in food safety, animal health and plant health to discuss both the opportunities and limitations of AI, with a strong focus on practical applications, scientific rigour and regulatory relevance.

The conference will provide a forum to discuss current advances, remaining challenges and future opportunities for the use of AI in food safety, animal health and plant health.
