The OECD Network of Economic Regulators (NER) and the Governance & Regulation Chair at Université Paris Dauphine|PSL are cooperating on a webinar series and two in-person conferences (April 2026 and April 2027) aimed at exploring how data and digitalisation, including related tools such as artificial intelligence, can be relied upon by regulators to enhance regulatory and regulator's effectiveness, trust and sector resilience, while managing new risks related to cybersecurity, governance and accountability.
The April 2026 conference will explore how regulators can use data and digital tools proactively to strengthen the resilience of network industries, rather than only responding to crises. The conference will frame a discussion on what “resilience” means from a regulatory perspective in the digital age, and how the various stakeholders in the government and in the industry can cooperate in building tools allowing a greater ability to manage crisis, reliability and an ability to adapt and evolve.
The conference will cover the following topics :
- Data as an Early Warning Systems : we will explore how real-time and near-real-time data can be used to anticipate shocks, with practical examples from sectors such as energy, transport, water, and digital infrastructure.
- Digital Tools for Stress-Testing and Scenario Analysis: we will also analyze how AI and advanced analytics can support regulatory foresight through stress-testing and scenario analysis, while also discussing their limits, risks, and governance considerations.
- Institutional preparedness: the speakers will also consider institutional preparedness and how regulators can organize decision-making under conditions of uncertainty.
The conference will be based on an interactive discussion aimed at identifying the capabilities regulators need to invest in now to remain resilient in the next five to ten years.
