Hosted by Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos

In S2 Ep38, Cate and Caine explore DPIAs for AI systems, how AI can support the assessment process and why project context and human review matter.

AI Systems and DPIAs What's Actually Changed in Practice

S2 Ep38: AI Systems and DPIAs

Can AI help you write a Data Protection Impact Assessment? And how do you assess the privacy risks of the AI system itself?

In S2 Ep38 of Data Protection Made Easy, Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos (Cate) explore both sides of the conversation: carrying out DPIAs for AI projects and using AI to help prepare an assessment.

What We Discuss

  • Understanding how an AI system uses personal data, including its inputs, outputs and who can access them.
  • Asking practical questions about suppliers, retention and where information goes.
  • Using AI to organise information, suggest questions and identify gaps in a DPIA.
  • Why project-specific information and human review remain important.
  • Setting clear boundaries for how staff use AI tools.

Join Cate and Caine for a practical discussion about making informed decisions, checking assumptions and keeping people involved in the assessment process.
