This session is part of the Think Tank series. Think Tank sessions are 45-minute breakouts with a 15-minute Q&A where experts in law and consultancy share their expertise on relevant and thought-provoking topics.
As artificial intelligence continues to change the data protection landscape, Ropes & Gray's data, privacy, and cyber/national security leaders will provide U.S., U.K. and EU perspectives. With additional privacy and AI laws taking effect in 2026 and even stricter proposals on the horizon — and no common international approach to regulating the interface between AI and privacy — this discussion will explore how organizations can remain proactive in adapting to this dynamic and increasingly fragmented regulatory environment. We will also examine the evolving role of AI as a tool for enhancing privacy compliance.

What you will learn:

• Updates on AI’s impact on data protection.

• Knowledge about new AI use cases.

• Practical steps to juggle conflicting compliance burdens.
