This series of webinars will address the potential impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) regulations on business across the globe. Recent developments in general availability of AI and generative AI solutions are leading regulators, at a global level, to consider legal frameworks to protect both individuals affected by AI and digital sovereignty. Our panelists will address these potential regulatory developments, as well as the expected timeline for these changes, region by region.  

Our first panel will feature a discussion focused on current and future regulatory requirements on the AI industry throughout the EU and the UK. With the language of the EU’s Al Act heading into its trialogue, it is even more important for stakeholders to understand the EU’s approach and prepare for the potential impact of this regulation in Europe, UK, and beyond. The panelists will address key questions, such as:

  • What new undertaking will be bearing on the stakeholders in this industry?
  • Will government regulation be “technology neutral”?
  • Could the various frameworks lead to conflicts for local compliance efforts?
  • Will a requirement for an AI system to explain its thinking or provide substantive sources for all results have a deleterious impact on its ability to “think” independently?  
  • Is it too late for stakeholders to have a say in these expected frameworks?

In this webinar, our lawyers discuss generative artificial intelligence (AI). Fast paced growth in generative AI is changing the way we work and live. With such changes come complex issues and uncertainty. We will address the legal, policy and ethical risks, mitigation, and best practices to consider as you develop generative AI products and services, or use generative AI in the operation of your business.

With Annette Becker, Guillermo Christensen, Whitney McCollum, Jilie Rizzo, and Mark Wittow

Description

Gartner predicts that by the end of 2024, 75% of the world’s population will have its personal data covered under modern privacy regulations. This exponential increase from only 10% global coverage in 2020 raises the stakes for global organizations. The challenge will be to ensure compliance, while safeguarding trust for an unprecedented volume of regulated data.

Join the upcoming live Q&A to learn what’s driving this expansion and how to prepare. You’ll hear from Zelda Olentia, Senior Product Manager at RadarFirst, and special guest, Claude-Etienne Armingaud who is a partner at K&L Gates LLP and a coordinator for the Firm’s Data Protection, Privacy, and Security practice group.

In this session we will cover:

  What is driving the expansion of privacy regulation?

  Where are we on this path towards 65% global coverage?

  How do you scale privacy operations for international privacy laws quickly and effectively before year-end 2024?

In this episode, Claude-Etienne Armingaud, Eleonora Curreri, and Camille Scarparo celebrate the fifth anniversary of GDPR accompanied with lawyers from our European offices; Thomas Nietsch and Andreas Müller (Berlin), Nóirín McFadden (London), and Gianmarco Marani (Milan). They reflect on how embedded GDPR has become in the cultural scene and with private enforcement. They also touch on the future for UK GDPR and the Data Protection and Digital Information (No.2) Bill.

May the enforcement be with you!

Codes of conduct overseen by accredited monitoring bodies are one of the breakthrough innovations introduced by EU General Data Protection Regulation. As part of its accountability framework, GDPR not only shifted the onus of demonstrative compliance, but also created the possibility for stakeholders to engage in co-regulatory practices. The goal was to allow the industry to support regulatory implementation by developing workable guidance to concretize the GDPR’s provisions. More flexible than other previously adopted compliance tools, CoCs generated high expectations, particularly in the wake of Schrems II, as a possible solution to address international data transfers and enable legal foreseeability. CoCs have not yet reached their full potential, with only a handful of national CoCs deployed and even less at the pan-European level. However, as the cloud ecosystem leads the way, this panel will explore the background of this sectoral success while highlighting CoC’s benefits, as well as their limitations.

What you will learn:

• How to understand the relevancy of CoCs in a post-GDPR, post-Schrems II era.

• What CoCs can bring to an ecosystem, as well as what they should not be pursued for.

• The future of international data transfers amid emerging data protection systems at global levels.

Les options d’examen et d’analyse assistées par la technologie sont de plus en plus utilisées dans les enquêtes internes et externes, notamment par les multinationales. L’utilisation de l’analyse des données peut apporter efficacité, précision et réduction des coûts. Cependant, le croisement entre le droit et la technologie soulève des préoccupations uniques en matière de protection de la vie privée et d’autres questions juridiques lors des enquêtes internes et externes : cette session permettra de vous mettre à niveau. Les sujets de discussion incluront :

  • Étudier la manière dont l’analyse des données et la découverte électronique peuvent aider les enquêtes multinationales.
  • Comprendre vos obligations selon la loi Schrems II, le RGPD et d’autres législations.
  • Apprendre les meilleures pratiques pour se conformer à ces obligations lors des enquêtes internes ou externes, de la diligence raisonnable et de la dénonciation des dysfonctionnements.
  • Comparer et intégrer des lignes directrices de la CNIL et du Conseil européen de la protection des données, entre autres.
  • Déterminer l’impact de la proposition de cadre transatlantique pour la protection des données sur votre pratique quotidienne.

The dynamics in online advertising have always been head spinning — but the latest developments promise to go beyond. The slow death of third-party cookies is shaking up the industry and raises new questions privacy professionals have to grapple with. With the upcoming e-Privacy Regulation, a new law is taking shape. And to add even more complexity, French lawmakers are eager to push through a new privacy law for online marketing based on the old e-Privacy Directive. Hear from industry experts what to expect and how to navigate the uncertainties. This panel will also address cutting edge questions like cookie walls, nudging, or dark patterns.

Most organisations have felt the impact of accelerating their cloud adoption strategies in the past two years. While beneficial to the enterprise in numerous areas, such as faster application development, combined with the ability to experiment and quickly leverage elasticity and resiliency, these benefits have also brought significant new security challenges.

Today, enterprises are grappling with security issues never before faced or addressed. The debate of shared responsibility between provider and customer, data sovereignty, the utopian cloud environment and the constant changing of threat models to name a few.

This session will draw on the recent findings of the 2021 Thales Cloud Security Report to discuss how European enterprises are handling the data security repercussions of an accelerated cloud deployment.

Areas for Discussion

• The widespread use of SaaS within the enterprise

• Cloud complexity with ‘lift & shift’, multicloud, and hybrid

• Encryption in the cloud is not as widespread as enterprises think

• How successful are enterprises in maintaining compliance and avoiding breaches in the cloud

• Who owns responsibility for the security of data in the cloud
