Kinstellar invites business leaders to a practical afternoon session on AI, regulation and implementation in Romania
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday business operations — but are Romanian businesses prepared for the legal, regulatory, cybersecurity and practical challenges that come with it?
Kinstellar is bringing together legal experts and industry practitioners for “AI is here. Is your business ready?”, a practical session focused on the real-world opportunities and challenges of AI adoption.
The event will explore both the legal and practical dimensions of implementing AI, including how businesses can protect themselves in commercial relationships involving AI, who bears legal liability when AI gets it wrong, how to manage cybersecurity and data protection risks, and what practical steps organisations should take to implement AI safely and effectively.
A dedicated spotlight session will also examine AI in the life sciences sector, where regulatory scrutiny is particularly high and the practical questions around AI adoption are emerging rapidly.
16:00–16:20 | Welcome Drinks & Networking Reception
16:20–16:30 | Opening Remarks
The AI landscape in 2026: where are we now and what is at stake for your business?
16:30–17:00 | Panel 1 — AI Governance: Contracts, Compliance and Liability
Speakers: Andrada Popescu, Managing Associate, Kinstellar; Christiana Bouleanu, Associate, Kinstellar.
How can businesses embrace AI without losing control of the legal risks? This session will examine vendor contracts and liability allocation, cybersecurity, data protection, Shadow AI and internal governance, with practical guidance on what businesses should do — and what they should avoid — when implementing AI and onboarding AI providers.
17:00–17:30 | Panel 2 — Ready, Set, AI: What Works, What Fails and Why
Speakers: Andrei Negulescu, Strategy Manager, Matricia Solutions; Radu Giju, Managing Director, The Access Group.
Drawing on their practical experience, the speakers will explore current AI adoption trends, use cases delivering real business value, and what makes organisations ready for AI. The discussion will also look at why some AI initiatives succeed while others fall short, and what businesses can learn from both.
17:30–17:50 | Spotlight Session — AI in Life Sciences: Innovation Under Regulatory Pressure
Speaker: Luiza Bedros, Partner and Head of the Life Sciences Practice, Kinstellar.
This focused session will examine what AI adoption means for pharma, medtech and healthcare businesses, including the interplay between the EU AI Act and existing sector regulation, AI in clinical research and diagnostics, health data governance, and liability when AI supports medical decision-making.
