We are a little late this week, but with good reason: Paul Breitbarth and Dr. K Royal were attending the IAPP Global Privacy Summit in Washington D.C. and bring you their report from the Opening General Session of the conference. The speakers during this session were professor Lawrence Lessig, Hans Peter Brøndmo and Catie Cuan, each reflecting on 25 years of IAPP and what is next for us privacy professionals. Apparently: it's robots!
