Attending the IAPP AI governance Training in Washington at the moment. Interesting to be at the other side of the table - usually I am teaching, now I am a student again.

I am attending the #Data Space Symposium 2024 in Darmstadt.
Very interesting discussions, even about what a data space is ;)
This time many companies and also the usal suspects like the Data Space Support Center and MyData. If you are also in Darmstadt, please let me know, happy to chat about data.

Feyo from our Dutch office and I were speaking today on the future of the #DataAct.
Happy to hear what would be your questions on this super complex piece of legislation!

First „omo-app“. Asks a lot of questions, like 50+ , some are repetative. Almost seems like clickbait stuff, so long. After the end, turns out it is not free. Uses some simple psychological tricks to get people to pay. Verdict: Lie.

Here comes a series on inconsistencies and not ideal legal drafting in the #dataact. Starting with something small.
Article 14: "data holders that are legal persons, other than public sectors bodies, which hold those data"

Data holders by definition are obliged to make the data available.

Thank you to Dr. Natallia Karniyevich from Bird & Bird Germany presenting on #cybersecurity with a focus on #nis2. She has worked with this area of law since joining Bird & Bird 7 years ago.
It is great that we can pull in experts from around the world (#slush2023 helps)!

Has anyone considered whether laptops and mobile phones are connected products under the EU #data act? #askingforafriend
# data protection

IMO that cannot be intended, but then again we only have the defining in Article 2

Not quite sure why that type of language was included in the Data Act.
It sounds to me like if it is not changed it is not changed and if it is changed, it is changed. #drafting

2nd day of the #IAPP data protection conference in Brussels. The conference is overbooked, so I am hanging out at the streaming space. Currently, I follow a panel on randsomware. #privacy

Session at #IAPP Europe continues - Seems that companies define „customer data“ quite wide, including #personaldata and #nonpersonal data . The president of the Bavarian #DPA describes the #microsoft enforcement.
