AI, governance and regulation: Key takeaways from the Microsoft AI Summit Athens

Wednesday, 11 March 2026

Artificial Intelligence is moving from concept to infrastructure.

Last week, Partners George Ballas and Grace Katsoulis, together with Senior Associate Nikos Papadopoulos, represented Ballas Pelecanos Law at the Microsoft AI Summit Athens.

The discussions were particularly relevant for our firm, reflecting a professional relationship with Microsoft that spans several decades and our ongoing work at the intersection of technology, data governance and regulation.

The summit highlighted how AI increasingly shapes regulatory frameworks, governance structures and the way organisations operate across sectors.

For legal advisers working closely with technology-driven companies, staying close to these conversations is essential. Understanding how technological innovation translates into legal, regulatory and business realities remains a key part of how we support clients as they adapt to rapid technological change.
