Spotted today in my office’s canteen.

Very candid and helpful explanation by Kakao’s Head of Privacy at #GPA25 about the value of proactively engaging with regulators to educate on #AI innovation despite the fears of not getting the feedback you wish for.
This is a very mature approach which requires mutual trust.

Straight off the bat as they say, the Korean privacy commissioner tells us in his opening speech of #GPA25 that he aims for this event to be a forum for collaboration to enable progress while addressing the challenges of #AI.

Just watching the debate of the UK Data (Use and Access) Bill and it’s interesting that all the discussion so far is on what is not really the focus of the Bill: copyright & #AI.
The Government is adamant to emphasise that the creative & technology industries need to reach a practical compromise.
