Overview

This panel will explore the existing provisions in data protection legislation, from the LGPD, to the GDPR and to other data protection laws and bills, that are applying to AI and similar technologies. At a time where the focus of regulators is switching to putting in place new legislation for AI, it is important to explore the extent to which existing data protection law in Europe, Latin America and around the world is already applying to profiling and automated decision making. The panel will look at recent Court cases that confirmed the existence of a right to explanation under the GDPR when it comes to solely automated decision-making, will explore to what extent the LGPD and other laws in Latin America deal with individual decisions based on automated decision-making and profiling and the rules around this type of processing, and will discuss in general how comprehensive data protection law already regulates AI and similar technologies.
