 in the conversation on "Brussels\, Capital of AI?"\, on November 23 at Stu
 dio Flagey in Brussels! The fifth edition of the FARI Brussels Conference 
 will take place on November 23 at Flagey Studios in Brussels\, under the t
 heme “Brussels\, Capital of AI?”. Organized by the FARI – AI for the
  Common Good Institute\, this event will bring together experts in AI\, ro
 botics\, ethics\, and regulation to discuss how we can support Brussels in
  strengthening its role as a leader in responsible\, sovereign AI grounded
  in collaboration and societal impact.New edition\, New theme Many countri
 es and cities have embraced AI\, with several aiming to become its “capi
 tal” — places where innovation\, startups\, and regulation converge. A
 cross Europe\, from Brussels to Paris\, London to Helsinki\, multiple citi
 es now claim this role. But what does it mean to have several “capitals
 ” of AI? Does this fragmentation weaken or strengthen the landscape? Bey
 ond global competition\, has any city truly built an inclusive model that 
 empowers local communities? The FARI Conference 2026 will explore these qu
 estions\, bringing together perspectives from cities at different stages o
 f their AI journey. Rather than focusing on competition\, it asks a more f
 undamental question: do we need a capital of AI at all\, and could Brussel
 s become one? Brussels stands at a pivotal moment. AI\, data\, and robotic
 s are no longer abstract topics but practical concerns for public institut
 ions\, businesses\, researchers\, and citizens. The question is no longer 
 whether AI will shape Brussels\, but how Brussels will shape AI. With its 
 strong research ecosystem and policy influence\, the city is well position
 ed to develop an approach that is competitive\, but also trustworthy\, inc
 lusive\, and rooted in public value.What is the FARI Brussels Conference?
