S2 Ep37: AI Systems and DPIAs: What’s Actually Changed in Practice

Live with the Data Protection Made Easy community on Friday 2 October 2026 at 12:30pm.

AI adoption is moving faster than DPIA practice in many organisations, and expectations around what a robust AI DPIA looks like continue to evolve.

Join Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos for a practical, grounded update on what’s actually changed, cutting through the noise to focus on what data protection teams need to know.

What This Session Will Cover

  • How DPIA practice is adapting as more AI systems move into production
  • What’s genuinely changed in regulator expectations and internal processes
  • Common gaps and challenges when assessing AI-related risk
  • Practical points for running more effective AI DPIAs
  • What organisations are still getting wrong

Why This Topic Matters

As AI systems move from pilot to production, DPIA practice is having to catch up. Guidance and regulatory expectations are shifting, and many organisations are still working out what “good” looks like for AI-related risk assessment.

This session cuts through the theory to focus on what’s actually changed in practice, and what that means for your DPIA process.

  • Data Protection Officers
  • Privacy and information governance professionals
  • Compliance and risk teams
  • Anyone involved in assessing or approving AI systems
  • Business leaders overseeing AI projects
