The Data Chronicles, a multimedia series from Hogan Lovells’ global Data, Privacy and Cybersecurity practice, is exploring EU data protection regulations in this episode.

Scott Loughlin is joined by Etienne Drouard, partner at Hogan Lovells in France and a former officer at the CNIL, to discuss the CNIL's unique guidelines on AI models and individuals' rights and whether they signal a need for a unified EU approach. They examine challenges in aligning GDPR with AI and defining AI models' boundaries, while some EU regulators focus on training data, and others on outputs’ regulation. The discussion also covers the speed of coordination between regulators and what businesses can expect as AI integration accelerates.
