In an era where AI transforms every facet of our daily lives, businesses, and industries, it’s essential to recognise and navigate the intricate maze of data protection and privacy challenges it presents. AI’s insatiable appetite for data, its ability to extract patterns from vast data sets, and its potential to make decisions that impact human lives make it both an incredible tool and a potential minefield of risks. 

During this event, we will guide you to understand these risks and actively manage and mitigate them. As we immerse ourselves in the nuances of AI projects, we must always maintain sight of the vital importance of protecting personal data and ensuring the privacy of individuals. 

Whether you’re a data scientist, project manager, legal professional, or just an AI enthusiast, this event is tailored to enlighten and empower you with the knowledge and best practices needed to embark on AI initiatives responsibly. 

Let’s dive into a future where AI and privacy coexist harmoniously, respecting individual rights and the promise of technological advancement working hand in hand.
