G7 Privacy summit kicks off in

Artificial intelligence and emergent technologies, the free circulation of data as well as international cooperation are on the agenda of the summit of G7 Data Protection Authorities organised by the Italian Data Protection Authority in Rome on October 9-11.
    The event, titled "Privacy in the age of data", kicked off on Wednesday afternoon at the Borghese Gallery and will continue on Thursday, October 10, and on Friday, October 11, at Palazzo Poli in Rome. Meetings, divided into several sessions, will start with the "Declaration on Generative AI" adopted at the G7 Privacy in Tokyo in 2023 and will bring together: the board of the Italian DPA (Pasquale Stanzione, Ginevra Cerrina Feroni, Agostino Ghiglia, Guido Scorza) and the competent authorities of Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, together with the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS).
    The objective is to define a common proposal to guarantee a safe and responsible circulation of personal data; to balance emerging technologies and artificial intelligence with the rights and freedoms of individuals; and to promote closer and more effective oversight of the implementation of data protection legislation.
    During the summit, the Italian Data Protection Authority will present its proposal on "The role of data protection authorities within the framework of artificial intelligence governance".
    A press conference to present the outcome of the discussions will be held at the end of the event, on October 11 at 1:00 p.m.
