Catch up on the conversations held at DPI: UK 2024

Speakers at DPI: UK 2024 had plenty of guidance to offer this year’s delegates to help clarify how their roles and responsibilities may be impacted by global data protection legislation, while panels and workshops provided strategies to implement best practices for improved operations and compliance.

Keynote John Edwards, Information Commissioner, addressed the ICO’s plan to begin an automated compliance assessment of the U.K.’s top 100 websites’ cookie banners, a potential technical solution to provide users with better informed decisions online.

Edwards further detailed the ICO’s plan to better protect children’s online privacy and assured delegates the ICO would be addressing the challenges presented by developing AI technologies.

Compliance, fairness and risk were front of mind for many speakers. Delegates received guidance on how to improve AI accountability, reduce risk and prepare for the passage of the EU AI Act.

Keynote speaker Lord Holmes provided insight on the importance of ensuring equality and inclusion in the ever-evolving AI landscape, and emphasized how AI and other technologies can act as a channel for promotion of the public good.

The increased use of AI generated important dialogue on ways to adapt to and work with this evolving technology, with the keynote panel highlighting emerging themes and best practices. Keynote speaker and author Anna Funder further cautioned how lessons from history can guide us when we create and improve data protection practices today.
