The 11th edition of the Summer Course on Privacy Law & Policy will focus on the rules which apply to data-driven digital technologies and AI in both the EU and the US. Think of the requisite data to train machine learning algorithms, algorithms which personalise content for users and prediction algorithms which can affect people in various ways. Privacy law and policy already apply to many of the data-driven processes at a time when the EU and the US adopt new rules to govern risky AI. This course will explore the broader trends and recent developments in this rapidly changing field and explain how businesses, governments and other stakeholders can achieve their goals within it.
The course will feature a distinguished faculty of European and US academics, regulators and practitioners who will investigate the EU and US legal frameworks and how they operate together. Participants will acquire the essential knowledge necessary to navigate privacy law and policy for online services that operate in the EU and the US. The seminar format promotes interaction among participants and faculty, and incorporates a range of practical exercises to apply the knowledge.
Enrollment is limited to 25 participants.
