On Tuesday, May 20th, Microsoft and Atlantik-Brücke brought together their alumni networks – Microsoft’s Young Professionals, and Atlantik-Brücke’s Young Leaders and New Bridge Alumni – at a joint event held at Microsoft’s Digital Eatery. Young Leaders alumnus and MP Armand Zorn (SPD) and Nooshin Soltani, Cybersecurity and Digital Policy Officer at the US Embassy in Germany, discussed the future of transatlantic cooperation in the technology sector. The discussion was moderated by New Bridge alumn and journalist Azade Pesmen, and Jennifer Pernau, Senior Manager of Government Affairs at Microsoft Germany. Our alumni and fellows took full advantage of the fishbowl format, contributing critical questions and comments to the discussion. The evening ended with drinks and the opportunity to make new acquaintances.
On the sidelines of the event, we interviewed Armand Zorn about the regulation of AI, European Social Media platforms and the fight against misinformation.
