AI Enforcement Risk - Will AI Follow the GDPR Playbook?

Introduction

AI is transforming how organisations in the UK operate, but is your compliance strategy keeping pace with regulatory risk? As AI adoption accelerates, one major question is emerging for legal, risk, and compliance teams: will AI enforcement follow the same path as GDPR?

This webinar will provide an overview of whether regulatory enforcement on AI will echo the approach taken regarding GDPR failures. The GDPR torpedoed the risk profile of handling personal data to Board level by materially increasing the expectations on organisations handling personal data and the enforcement powers of regulators if they got it wrong.

Without specific AI regulation currently in force in the UK, how will the UK Information Commissioner approach enforcement action that concerns AI under the current principle based and data focused regime? Given the potentially significant impact AI and Automated Decision Making can have on individuals, will cases involving AI be treated more seriously? Or will a more lenient approach be adopted, at least initially, while the law and regulator catch up?

You will gain clarity on the current position of regulatory enforcement on AI compared with the approach for GDPR failures generally. You will learn of regulatory expectations and any indicators of future reform regarding AI regulation and enforcement, which will be useful in considering liability and compliance strategies.
