91st General Assembly

The 2023 edition of the Winter General Assembly coincided with the EBU’s first ever AI Summit.

Day 1 of the General Assembly addressed governance issues, including the by-election of the new EBU Vice-President, while the second day took place at CERN and was focused exclusively on AI-related topics. We were also delighted that FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, took part in a special session dedicated to football.

If you were not able to join in person or if you would simply like to re-watch it, the interview with President Infantino is available below as a video talk.
