IAPP Global Privacy Summit – Washington

IAPP Global Privacy Summit - Washington

EDPO attended the IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2025 (hashtag#GPS25), where leading voices from around the world came together to help shape the future of hashtag#AI, hashtag#privacy and hashtag#tech policy.

🌍 Many countries are building AI governance models that aim to foster trust, protect rights, and ensure safety.

🤝 Regulatory cooperation is growing, but complexity remains—especially in Europe, where many different authorities are involved.

📌 One clear message: your AI and privacy strategies can’t live in silos—integrate them from the start and be ready to evolve with the landscape.

📊 Regulators are asking tougher, more technical questions—on safety, bias, training data, and legal bases. They expect action, not perfection.

🔐 AI is reshaping cybersecurity. Threats like deepfakes and voice cloning call for better training, playbooks, and proactive mitigation.

👀 Transparency is essential, but without explainability, it doesn’t work. Users need to understand not just what a system does, but why.

🤖 Discussions also focused on the impact of AI on work, identity and the human experience.

 🎉 GPS25 may be over, but the conversations continue—see you soon in hashtag#Toronto 🇨🇦and hashtag#Dublin! 🇮🇪
