Privacy Symposium Conference – Generative AI, Law Enforcement and National Security (Venice – IT)

We are pleased to announce that the Director of the Chair, Professor Theodore Christakis, will chair a panel discussion on Generative AI, Law Enforcement and National Security at the Privacy Symposium Conference 2025.

The panel will explore how governments can deploy these powerful AI tools without undermining privacy, data protection, and human rights. It will examine the interplay between evolving regulatory expectations, geopolitical pressures, and corporate strategies for managing government access to AI systems and data. It will then discuss the implications of data localization and international data transfers for AI deployment and oversight.

Key points to be discussed:

1. How can national security and law enforcement agencies responsibly harness advanced Generative AI and AGI tools without compromising privacy, data protection, and human rights?
2. What measures are global AI companies implementing to manage government access to AI systems and data, and how do these align with evolving regulatory expectations and geopolitical pressures?
3. What are the implications for international data transfers in the context of evolving AI capabilities and cross-border law enforcement demands?
4. Why are some policymakers (for instance in Italy) advocating for domestic data localization for AI systems, and what impact could such requirements have on innovation, global cooperation, and human rights?
