“Privacy in the age of data” will be the title of the first G7 Privacy Summit under the Italian Presidency. With this event, the Italian DPA also wants to restate the central role of independent DPAs in the decision-making processes that direct the Governments’ actions.
The agenda will be discussed from 9 to 11 October 2024 in Rome and will feature different sessions. Each session will cover one of the following topics.

Emerging Technologies

Rome’s roundtable will start from the “Statement on Generative AI” adopted by the G7 Privacy met in Tokyo in June 2023, with which Data Protection Authorities have committed to ensure that the development and progress of Generative AI is done according to mutual ethical and legal principles. Given AI’s infinite applications, in a world where the line between personal and non-personal data is fading more and more, the protection of personal data cannot be disregarded, and, since the circulation of personal data is a crucial factor for technological development, Data Protection Authorities must, therefore, be given a central role in strategic decisions on general AI as well as sectoral ones.

Data free flow with trust

“In the data era”, the 7 DPAs wish a free and responsible circulation of data, based on trust and accompanied by high protection standards as a prerequisite for the free circulation of data to support global economic development.

Enforcement cooperation

The 7 DPAs want to promote an international cooperation aimed at establishing new engagement rules worldwide, to ensure sustainable, inclusive, fair and just innovation and protect people’s rights and freedoms in a more effective way, while also safeguarding the economic development.

Artificial Intelligence

During the Summit, the Italian DPA will present their topic: “The role of Data Protection Authorities within the framework of AI Governance”.
