Paul-Emmanuel Bidault - DASTRA & Jeffrey Geenen-Ridolfi
The forthcoming implementation of the European Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is likely to revolutionize the role of Data Protection Officers. Traditionally confronted with the governance of personal data, they will now have to find their place within the governance of artificial intelligence.
This session will provide an overview of what the AI Act entails for a DPO, and how it is practically possible to reconcile RGPD and AI Act management. We welcome Jeffrey Geenen-Ridolfi, DPO of the city of Namur, to talk about this topic.
Prof. Dr. Jacques Folon - DPO PRO
The DPO is a recent function, and one that is frequently misunderstood. While the RGPD requires the DPO to be informed «in good time», i.e. as soon as possible, it is common for the DPO to learn about new projects at the coffee machine. What's more, the arrival of new regulations such as the IA ACT, the whistleblower directive, the data privacy framework, NIS2, reinforce the complexity of his function and the need for certification of this profession.
We will discuss the what, why, and how of the EU AI regulation, as well as how to guide companies in preparing for this legislation.
