*** Roundtable: The intersection of AI and privacy governance *** Supervisor Wojciech Wiewiorowski delivered the opening speech at roundtable on AI and privacy governance organised by Cameron Kerry. Rapid advances in AI, from foundation models to large-scale data collection, have put the privacy debate back in the spotlight. In the EU, the Digital Omnibus draft could reshape how GDPR and AI Act address privacy in AI technologies. The roundtable explored how core privacy rights apply once personal data is embedded in AI models, how privacy risk should be shared across the AI supply chain, and whether new data-sharing frameworks can offer a viable middle ground between unrestricted scraping and strict localisation.
