I've been asked (for reasons) to put together a short bit on trends in #privacy and #dataprotection space over the next few years.

I've got quite a few thoughts on new developments, but would love to ask my fellow #privacy, #AI, #tech #lawfedi, #academic friends -- what impactful areas do you think will drive #privacy and #dataprotection ?

1) the impact of existing and future laws (like the #AIAct), on how we deal with new and novel #tech and its use of #personaldata
2) Regulatory and #enforcement shifts, particularly around the role of the #DPO, conflicts of interest, and #crossborder disputes
3) The death of #onestopshop and a breakdown of the #consistency mechanism as we know it?!
4) More #US states adopting #privacylaws similar to (but likely weaker than) the #CCPA. WAY more development of niche #dataprotection laws on AI, #biometrics & #kidsprivacy
5) More alignment from other countries on a #GDPR-like framework - notably in #India and countries in the Global South.
6) Tools like #chatgpt and other #privtech gradually starting to muscle out some of the manual #privacyops workloads, since there simply aren't enough folks capable of handling mountains of #DPAs, #TIAs, #DPIAs, #ROPAs, etc., etc.
7) Some sort of resolution on the whole new #ePrivacyRegs.
8) More muscling for digital / data #sovereignity & data #localization by countries around the world.

What say you ? Do these sound plausible or crazy? What do you think will be prioritized in the next year or five?

@Kirra Sorry, aber diese sehr persönliche Situation deines Kindes geht uns alle nix an. Ich verstehe deine Not, wirklich(!!), aber wir stehen in der Pflicht, die Gesundheitsdaten unserer Kids zu achten und zu schützen. #kidsprivacy #nokidcontent Dennoch: Toitoitoi! Und Hausaufgabenterror ist immer ein Familienproblem, kein Einzelproblem.
