This is the second article exploring our time at CPDP.ai this year. Once again, keeping in mind the conference’s underlying question: Is AI governable? Different panels at the conference focused on the use and abuse of AI in public administration, specifically looking at the regulation and governance of public AI systems. The article tries to put in broader conversations the presentations, statements, and ideas from different panels and panellists on the topic. This article puts in conversation statements and ideas from CPDP.ai 2024 panellists Mirko Tobias Schäfer, Minna Ruckenstein, Anni Ojajärvi, Diletta Huyskes, Oana Goga, Matthias Spielkamp, Saskia Lensik, Fife Ogunde, Migle Laukyte, Tijmen Wisman and Kris Shrishak.
