On Tuesday, November 24, 2026, our partner and colleague, attorney Dr. Jan-Philipp Günther-Burmeister, will be speaking at 4:00 PM as part of the "Automated Systems" lecture series at Leibniz University Hannover. His presentation, titled "Cyberattacks and the AI Boom: Europe’s Response to Today’s Digital Risks – What NIS2, CRA, the AI Act, and the GDPR Mean Now," will examine the most pressing issues in digital regulation. The event is co-organized by the Interdisciplinary Institute for Automated Systems (RifaS) and the Chair of Civil Law, European and International Business Law held by Prof. Dr. Buck-Heeb.

The lecture focuses on the critical legal developments surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), data protection, and IT security. It will discuss the practical implications of the NIS2 Directive, the Cyber Resilience Act, the AI Act, and the General Data Protection Regulation. The presentation will outline the obligations facing companies and address the risks associated with modern AI systems, such as the challenges posed by so-called "jailbroken" AI.

Those interested can attend in person at the high-rise building on the Conti-Campus of Leibniz University Hannover (Room 1502.1311) or join digitally via Webex.
