Can the EU Lead in AI After the Arrival of the GDPR? @ Brussels, Belgium
Mar 27 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am
Can the EU Lead in AI After the Arrival of the GDPR? @ Brussels, Belgium | Bruxelles | Bruxelles | Belgium

Although the EU is investing heavily in research in artificial intelligence (AI), the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will go into effect in May, includes numerous provisions that will impede the development and use of AI in Europe. For example, the GDPR establishes a right to have a human review and explain algorithmic decisions, a requirement that will make it more difficult for companies to automate certain processes using AI. Similarly, the GDPR creates a right for consumers to demand that companies erase all copies of their personal data, a requirement that may undermine the integrity of algorithmic models. Furthermore, the huge fines associated with failing to comply with the GDPR, along with uncertainty about how to comply, poses risks even for companies doing their best to comply.

Join the Center for Data Innovation for an overview of a new report outlining how the GDPR will impact the development and use of AI, and a panel discussion about what Europe should do to support increased AI development and adoption.

Date and Time:

  • Tuesday, March 27, 2018, from 9.00 to 10.30 AM

Location:

  • Press Club Brussels, Rue Froissart 95, 1000 Brussels, Belgium

Confirmed Speakers:

  • Professor Hugues Bersini, AI Researcher, Université Libre de Bruxelles
  • Richard Middleton, Managing Director and Co-Head of Policy Division, Association for Financial Markets in Europe
  • Victoria de Posson, Public Policy Consultant, FTI Consulting
  • Corinna Schulze, Director of EU Government Relations, SAP
  • Nick Wallace, Senior Policy Analyst, Center for Data Innovation

GDPR Help! Roundtables – Session 3: On The Starting Blocks @ United Kingdom
Mar 28 @ 9:00 am – 5:30 pm
GDPR Help! Roundtables - Session 3: On The Starting Blocks @ United Kingdom | England | United Kingdom
This series of 3 one day roundtables for peer group exchange will focus on managing the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance process. Regulators and policy makers will not be invited to these roundtables.

Whatever happens with Brexit, your organisation will continue to trade with some of the 30 countries in the European Economic Area and you need to ensure that your organisation is complying with the GDPR. The emphasis will be on sharing experience to help you organise and manage the process rather than giving legal advice on the impact of the GDPR.

Hosts will report on progress in their organisations. In addition, you should expect to discuss your plans with the group. Everyone learns and benefits from this participatory process. Each Roundtable will be limited to 25 people to facilitate discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. Lunch is included at each Roundtable, ideal for networking.

Date: 28 March 2018, 09.00h.-17.30h.
Host: Andrew Southam, General Counsel, KrolLDiscovery, UK
Location: KrolLDiscovery near City Thameslink Station, London

Programme:
– Do you really know where all your personal data is located?
– When to use legitimate interests as a basis for processing
– Designing and timetabling communications strategies
– Designing and timetabling training programmes: What? to whom? and when?

Registration:
To register, e-mail [email protected]. An invoice will be sent to everyone who registers. You will need to pay in advance to attend these sessions.

Each session qualifies for 6 CPD hours. Every Privacy Laws & Business event qualifies for accredited CPD hours for the purposes of the England and Wales Solicitors Regulation Authority’s requirements. Please quote AQJ/PLBU when applying for the points with the SRA.
