Gibson Dunn Presents: GDPR at 5

Co-Chair of our Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Innovation Practice Group, Ahmed Baladi (Paris), is joined by partners Robert Spano (London and Paris) and Vivek Mohan (Palo Alto), Co-Chairs of Gibson Dunn’s Artificial Intelligence Practice Group, for a discussion about the interplay between AI and the processing of personal data. They provide an overview of the landmark EU AI Act, comment on the AI regulatory landscape in the U.S., and examine the challenges that multinational companies face when considering AI and GDPR requirements.

The Co-Chairs of our Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Innovation Practice Group, Ahmed Baladi (Paris) and Alexander Southwell (New York), and partner Cassandra Gaedt-Sheckter (Palo Alto), discuss how GDPR has impacted U.S. laws and companies. They examine the contrasts between U.S. privacy laws and GDPR in Europe, provide an overview of enforcement actions in the U.S., particularly California, and review the challenges companies face when dealing with global data privacy laws.

Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Innovation co-chair Ahmed Baladi discusses GDPR enforcement actions in Europe with practice partners Vera Lukic (Paris) and Joel Harrison (London). They review enforcement actions over the past five years and anticipate future trends, look at Brexit’s impact on the GDPR and on its application in the UK, and examine issues arising from the enforcement of the e-privacy directive, with its lack of a one-stop-shop mechanism.

Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Innovation co-chairs Ahmed Baladi and Jane Horvath describe how GDPR has been a game-changer in the data privacy area and discuss the innovations and improvements introduced by the regulation, how challenging it was to implement globally, and the interaction between the GDPR and other privacy legislations around the globe.
