2025 conference recap
IAPP Asia 2025: Making sense out of the chaos
A full house of privacy and AI governance practitioners spent two days at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore exploring the intersections of privacy, cybersecurity and emerging tech policy in Asia.
Issues on their radar spanned the gamut from cross-border compliance to the rise of AI regulation in Asia, and who should oversee AI governance — new teams dedicated strictly to AI or already existing privacy teams.
Some of the sessions attendees gravitated toward included practical presentations on regional AI governance frameworks, use of privacy-enhancing technologies for cross-border data sharing and the diverse requirements for data sharing in Asia, how privacy and AI can work together to foster digital trust, and the importance of protecting children within the digital and gaming space.
Delegates felt it was valuable to hear from regulators and understand what they are looking for, especially given the region’s complex legal fabric and the goal of aligning innovation and security.
The sessions also made it clear that professionals must expand their influence beyond compliance to enable business growth.
As Deputy Commissioner Denise Wong of the Singapore Personal Data Protection Commission suggested in her keynote address, navigating today’s diverse and changing world hinges on strong collaboration and open dialogue among global communities.
The discussion at this dual conference on privacy and AI governance certainly did its part to support that goal and the mission of developing a safe, innovation-ready future.
