Digital Harvests: Sowing the Seeds of Compliant AI-driven Web Scraping

Claude-Étienne Armingaud, CIPP/E, Partner, Data Protection Privacy and Security Practice Group Coordinator, Latournerie Wolfrom Avocats

Jiri Balek, AIGP, CIPP/E, CIPM, FIP, Data Privacy and Ethics Manager, Celonis

Janel Thamkul, Deputy General Counsel, Anthropic

Félicien Vallet, Head of AI Department, CNIL

This session will explore best practices in developing and/or deploying AI-driven web scraping technologies on global markets — taking you on a journey through the regulatory landscapes of the EU, U.K. and U.S. (in particular, the EU AI Act, GDPR and CCPA) as the panelists unravel the complexities and nuances shaping AI in digital intelligence. From social media to listening to market analysis, discover best practices for harnessing AI agents while navigating the labyrinth of compliance standards. Our experts will illuminate the interplay between regulatory frameworks and AI-driven web scraping, shedding light on the privacy compliance and ethical considerations around data acquisition. They will confront the challenges of third-party risks (e.g. data breaches and lawfulness); technical measures preventing web scraping (e.g. anti-scraping measures to deter prohibited access); and data quality risks (e.g. integration of scraped data with existing systems, training of AI agents on scraped data) to offer forward-thinking strategies for robust risk mitigation.

What you will learn:

• Understanding the regulatory environment governing AI-driven web scraping practices in global markets, including enforcement developments. 
• Key steps for adhering to regulatory requirements (EU AI Act, GDPR, CCPA, etc.) when engaging in web scraping practices. 
• Insights into best practices for effective risk mitigation and the strategic use of AI agents in web scraping, particularly in the context of social media listening and market analysis.
