In this episode, we are going to talk about the regulation of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to understand what businesses need to think about from a regulatory perspective. Our special guest, Ben, talks about the global context of regulations around AI and the complexity of the parallel 'race to AI' and 'race to regulation' . In particular we look at the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act from the European Union and consider the impact on innovation. We explore what businesses and DPOs need to consider when building, using or deploying Machine learning or Artificial Intelligence systems. As we enter what is arguably, the start of our journey into a new era of innovation with huge benefits to humankind, this podcast will follow developments in and around the regulation of future Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

In today’s episode, we are delving into the hot topic of Digital Vaccine Passports and Certificates. We outline the complex mix of technology, privacy and practical issues in a global context. As we did in Episodes 24 & 25, we look at the significant practical, technical and privacy issues surrounding how nation states and governments want to use technology to prove human beings can travel internationally, cross borders in the EU and get access to domestic venues, events, retail outlets and much more besides. Arguably a more complex problem to solve than tracking and tracing individuals. We consider the lack of effectiveness of the Track and Trace apps in the UK & EU and wonder how acceptable solutions can be found for Vaccine Passports and Certificates - a wider problem involving citizens, businesses, medical records and often new and emerging technology. Again, we find ourselves asking the same question: how do we find a rapid and effective way to discuss and agree the extended use of our data to manage this pandemic and halt the damage from lockdowns? We urgently need a forum to be able to have these discussions. As Privacy, Legal and Techology professionals we must contribute to solutions to help support governments to enable better pandemic management. There are far more questions than answers, so this episode will be the start of our journey to keep up to date with developments. GDPR Now!

The decision by the ECJ on 16th July 2020, to invalidate the EU - US Privacy Shield sent shockwaves across organisations in the EU and US. We are now in January 2021 and there have been some solutions offered by the European Commission. But how workable are they for businesses in practise?? Join me, Karen Heaton and guest Mark Sherwood-Edwards, lawyer, data protection specialist and founder of Clearview Legal to discuss the latest pronouncements from the EC, on a revision of the Standard Contractual Clauses, Safeguards for transfers to the US (and other third countries) and of course, the impact of Brexit and what this will mean if the EC does not grant adequacy status to the UK.
