This opening session brings together distinguished Italian academics, officials of the region and the Director of the Privacy Symposium to set the stage for insightful discu...
Discussions surrounding the interplay of AI and Data Protection Laws will reveal how academics and practitioners from around the world manage the intersectionality of these laws. How do data protection laws and emerging AI intersect, and how do they complement each other? If you’re a privacy professional, legal expert, AI developer, or policymaker, this is your must-attend session, as it will feature professionals from Google, EDRI, DG Justice, a...
Compliance with the AI Act relies a great deal on robust risk management. However, small and medium entreprises (SMEs) often do not have a risk management policy in place and it is difficult for them to identify, analyse, assess, and mitigate risks related to AI systems privacy and security. On the other hand, whichever methodology an organisation chooses, the underlying cybersecurity and privacy issues that accompany the use of AI systems remain technically the same. This session will ...
Generative AI development and deployment is exploding, but the recent EDPB Opinion 28/2024 and early enforcement actions (notably the fine against OpenAI by the Garante in Italy) signal that compliance with the GDPR must be taken seriously from the outset. Against this backdrop, our panel will explore how to build trust and avoid pitfalls when developing and deploying LLMs in Europe. We’ll examine the evolving legal landscape—and whether it leaves enough room for meaningful innovation....
This panel will explore the new era of data governance, emphasising the importance of building simplified programs that inspire trust. It will take a holistic approach to data, privacy, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, incorporating global laws, regulations, and emerging trends. The discussion will highlight the secular nature of global laws, data sovereignty, restrictions on data transfers, and data minimization.
This enriching session will shed light on the consequences of data scraping in regard to privacy and intellectual property rights. Data scraping refers to the automated extraction of data from websites, APIs, and other online sources, which consequently raises questions surrounding the secondary uses of such data. Attendees of this session will have the opportunity to hear from several European and global authorities on how they perceive and addr...
This session will explore how to design data spaces that aren’t just legally compliant but also fundamentally structured around privacy, security, and trust. By embedding compliance in the core of data infrastructure design, we can move beyond reactive measures and create environments that foster confidence and cooperation. Key questions
As AI usage seems to proliferate, international regulations may be the way to go to develop cross-border compliance and cooperation. Featuring representatives from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as renowned global think tanks, this session will discuss how organizations can effectively align themselves with international regulations to achieve convergence and interoperability. ...
This remarkable session brings together leading experts from Microsoft, the German Data Protection Authority, the European AI Agency, and the Italian State Secretary to discuss how organizations and governments can navigate AI risks while ensuring compliance. From balancing innovation with regulation to addressing ethical concerns, this discussion will provide critical insights into the future of AI governance.
This panel focuses on integrating the new cybersecurity obligations introduced by the NIS 2 Directive with the GDPR’s existing requirements for data integrity and confidentiality.
Join us for a thought-provoking session on the intersection of technical and ethical considerations in the world of satellite technology. As these systems continue to expand with immense potential, there is a growing need to protect and respect privacy rights in an interconnected space environment. The panel will present real-world case studies and discuss emerging privacy solutions.
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) sets obligatory requirements for hardware and software products as well as infrastructure, aiming to guarantee high standards of security for all items connected to the internet. This session brings together experts to explore the CRA’s real-world implications, shedding light on the challenges, opportunities, and urgent questions surrounding cyber resilience.
The rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the digital landscape, introducing both opportunities and challenges for consumer autonomy and data protection. AI has the potential to deliver highly relevant services, enhancing consumer engagement and satisfaction, but it can also generate outputs that may be misleading, inaccurate, or manipulative, potentially exacerbating consumer vulnerabilities and reducing consumer agency.
This session brings together industry leaders and regulators to explore the essential aspects of designing compliant AI training models. In the discussion, panelists will provide a comprehensive overview of the intersection between regulatory requirements and innovative AI practices, offering practical advice and actionable insights for professionals in the field. Key topics include:
In this insightful session, experts and professionals in the field will delve into the realm of post-quantum cryptography, exploring how we can strengthen data protection strategies and secure digital infrastructure against emerging threats. The panel will share thoughts on the potential risks and how new approaches are being developed. Key questions
As society becomes increasingly digital, policy-makers and researchers face the complex challenge of leveraging data and algorithms to tackle critical issues in social media, artificial intelligence (AI), and privacy. At the same time, evolving data access regulations, such as those introduced by the Digital Services Act (DSA), pose significant barriers to researchers striving for transparent and equitable access to platform data. This panel brin...
AI systems are becoming more integrated into critical decision-making processes, which makes questions of liability and accountability more pressing than ever. If an AI-based decision goes wrong, who is responsible? This session will unite experts from Meta, Italian Institute for Privacy and Data Valorisation, AI Law Tech Institute, SGS, and CNPD to explore the evolving frameworks for AI liability and the role of certification in building respons...
