SALON-STYLE DISCUSSIONS ON KEY PROGRAM AREAS ~ SESSION I
Each topic will be presented at 10:30 a.m. and at 1:45 p.m. each with different Discussion Leaders. Select one topic from Session I:
Navigating the Turbulence of Tech and Data Policy Today (Bluemont 1)
What do we understand about the Trump Administration’s approach to data policy issues?  Will this Congress advance privacy related legislation?  How are state leaders best engaged as ballot initiatives and bills (some led by class action firms) are proposed across the country?  How will the new FTC Commissioners handle privacy issues, and will broader anti-trust concerns regarding tech firms influence their views?  How meaningful are self regulatory initiatives in today’s environment?
EU Beyond the GDPR (Bluemont 2)
Will the GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulation disrupt implementation of IoT, machine learning, and other emerging technologies?  What are the most significant industrywide problems that will have demonstrable impact? Could stakeholders have done anything differently to more effectively inform policymakers and influence the final regulations?  What options exist going forward to ensure those shaping the future evolution of data and privacy policy in Europe are experts about the technologies and data flows that are being regulated?
Grappling with Artificial Intelligence (Waterford)
This session starts with a technical review of machine learning technologies geared to the needs of privacy experts, focusing on machine learning from a compliance perspective.  We will assess how machine learning raises novel challenges, especially concerns beyond those that have long been handled by researchers and companies that deal with big data. Where does AI or machine learning create tensions with US or EU law?  Where does it create risk of actual or perceived bias? And what tools or processes are available to address these concerns?
