Intermediate level
The evolving landscape of EU digital law and policy remains in a state of dynamism with new laws, amendments and reform proposals continuing to be unveiled. In this context, privacy, cybersecurity and data protection in the EU have become increasingly critical. Legislative debates involve not only issues related to business operations and obligations. They also include the dynamics of sovereign data infrastructure and localization, with increasing control over international data flows and technology transfers as well as heightened regulatory attention to cybersecurity preparedness and critical infrastructure protection. Within this new regulatory environment, this panel will explore the latest digital law developments in the EU with a focus on core requirements for businesses regarding data protection, AI, and cybersecurity.
What you will learn:
• What are the emerging issues in EU digital law and policy that businesses must be knowledgeable about and prepared for compliance with.
• What’s the current state of the EU Digital Omnibus and what upcoming developments should businesses monitor.
• What is the latest in implementation of the EU’s data, AI, and cybersecurity laws and policies, and how do they intersect with the GDPR’s framework.
• What impact have recent geopolitical developments had on the EU’s digital legislative ambition.
