*** 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 *** Today, the #EDPS Supervisor, Wojciech Wiewiorowski delivers a keynote talk during this year's Annual Privacy Forum organised by European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), DG Connect of the European Commission and Karlstad University with the support of the Swedish Authority of Privacy Protection - Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten 🔰 He says: "I commend the efforts of some AI developers and researchers who are working on addressing the concerns around AI and fundamental rights. It is crucial to develop technologies that allow for the deployment of new services without compromising fundamental rights." "The challenges of new technologies enabling unprecedented data processing are not new. The GDPR principle of "privacy by design and by default" and the requirement of conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments are two of the tools that help us in addressing those challenges. These challenges are also reflected in the AI Act. " adds the Supervisor. EDPS Supervisor concludes: "I firmly believe that no single entity, whether in the public or private sector, can do this alone. [...] By working together, we can drive the development of privacy-enhancing technologies to new heights, making them more robust, more reliable, and more widely available to all." 📝 Read his speech here: https://europa.eu/!9YPtt8 #EDPS #AIAct #GDPR #DigitalFuture #FundamentalRights #DataProtection #APF2024

*** IPEN 2024 is a wrap 💯*** This year’s IPEN hosted over 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ participants online and onsite. In this closing remarks, Massimo Attoresi Deputy Head of the Technology & Privacy Unit at the EDPS, highlighted the success of discussions led by distinguished speakers and moderators who underlined the importance of a human-centric approach to AI regulation, focusing on protecting fundamental rights and freedoms. 🔒 “This year’s topic goes to the core of what differentiates a human being from a computer and what we can expect as to the capability of a human being to effectively control the behaviour of an AI system.” 🦾 “Today’s exchanges reinforce our view that this topic is crucial in designing a human centric AI. It should be tackled in a comprehensive and responsible manner by whomever has the task to regulate AI and by all stakeholders involved in the planning, design, development and deployment of any process supported by AI systems”. 💬 Thank you, Karlstad University Sweden🇸🇪! #IPEN #EDPS #Transparency #Accountability #Fairness #HumanOversight
