9:00 — 10:15AI: Regulatory landscapeAckert, Fedeles, Promislow*, Russell, Wilan
 

The European Union's (EU) AI Act seeks to establish the first comprehensive regulatory scheme for artificial intelligence. The impact of the regulation - which could be adopted by the end of 2023 - will extend beyond EU borders and will have substantial impact on data governance practices and corresponding legal exposure for organizations worldwide. At the same time, other jurisdictions (e.g. UK and Canada) have prepared proposals for the regulation of AI, and in the US, a patchwork of regulation and guidance at the state and federal level is beginning to emerge. This panel will lead a dialogue on the emerging legal issues from the EU Act as well as the intersection of the regimes in different jurisdictions and explore whether there are specific privacy and data management issues that could benefit from consideration by a brainstorming group.

Drum*, Rhodes, Trilling

 An estimated one of every three online users is under the age of 18. Perceived unique risks of online conduct of and content presented to minors has fostered a renewed focus on how the legal system can be leveraged and adapted to ensure the protection of children's data privacy. During the past few years, legislators, regulators, and litigants have refocused their energy on protecting children's data privacy through new laws, enforcement actions, and lawsuits. This panel will examine this evolving legal landscape and explore whether WG11 should consider a brainstorming group to address this important topic.

ChavesDavis, RhodesWesleyYannella*

The panel will continue truly open dialogue exploring the strengths and weaknesses of litigation positions being taken today by both sides in data breach and privacy class actions, and how the current rules of the road might be changed to reduce litigation costs in such actions.
