Marko Mihalič from the Institute for Corporate Security Studies (ICSS) attended the conference in Spain at the invitation of DH Anticouterfeit. He took part in a panel discussion on the use of artificial intelligence in brand protection. As an example of good practice, he highlighted the new European project ARIEN, which deals with the introduction of artificial intelligence in the process of preventing illegal drug trafficking, and in which the Institute for Corporate Security Studies is actively involved. The organisers were very pleased with the presentation and the active participation at the conference and kindly invited us to the next one.
