Kicking off IAPP week with two fantastic roundtables at the Future of Privacy Forum HQ in DC, both of them close to my heart: An insightful discussion around Transatlantic state of affairs in the digital space (from data transfers to AI) and an in depth conversation on India’s DPDPA implementing rules and broader digital and AI regulatory landscape.
