PubAffairs Bruxelles was delighted to organise, on the 3rd of November 2026, the event “Interoperability and choice? What the DMA means for AI services and users“, a lunch discussion on AI assistants and the implementation of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This event provided a timely opportunity to discuss how the European Commission’s interoperability requirements could more directly affect European consumers and the EU’s digital ecosystem, with our distinguished speakers: Marianne Auffret, Case Handler, Markets and Cases, European Commission; Sébastien Pant, Senior Officer, BEUC; Kayvan Hazemi-Jebelli, Vice President for Europe, Chamber of Progress.
Matthew Lesh, Director, Freshwater Strategy will present the findings from a survey on consumer sentiment towards interoperability and AI assistants commissioned by the Chamber of Progress. Please find the press statement here and the download link here.
We would like to thank our event partner Chamber of Progress and our moderator, Lyubov Pronina, Long-time Brussels Journalist, for having allowed this debate to take place.
