Learn how these regulations interact, their implications for both public and private sectors, and their role in shaping future AI and data privacy practices globally.

Amid a recent uptick in laws and regulations being developed within the European Union, three EU-based data regulations are especially important to pay attention to, as they will influence data practices across a range of critical sectors.

The Data Act aims to increase the level of data sharing by establishing rules for accessing and using data for users of IoT devices - be they businesses or consumers - while maintaining a high level of personal data protection.

The list of sensitive data covered is longer in APRA than in GDPR, but this does not necessarily mean that protection will be stronger or even equivalent under APRA. APRA includes a privacy right of action, which is framed differently from the list of remedies granted to data subjects under GDPR, but which is often absent from US state privacy laws.

Based on the current trajectory of AI and data legislation, what future trends might we expect in regulating AI and data privacy?

What we also see is the debate triggered by the adoption of these new rules in some pockets has rendered organizations more cautious: in several verticals, organizations dealing with regulated data and/or sensitive data are now trying to add new restrictions to their contracts with service providers and, in particular, restrictions related to the use of AI systems and AI training.
