This book examines the discourse and developments surrounding privacy and data protection in the digital realm, featuring papers and discussions from the 2024 CPDP.ai international conference. The question of governance-whether to lead or be led-has never been more relevant. Thus, the book not only addresses privacy and data protection, but also highlights issues related to the governance of artificial intelligence and the regulatory changes introduced by the EU AI Act. The book features comprehensive discussions on the adequacy and effectiveness of the governance mechanisms established by the EU AI Act, particularly emphasising standardisation, co-regulation, and human oversight, while also identifying existing gaps in protection. Additionally, it pays special attention to the risks to fundamental rights associated with AI usage by law enforcement agencies, examining whether the current legal framework sufficiently safeguards against these risks. Finally, the book provides an in-depth exploration of deepnude and deepfake technology that generates nude images, as well as the role of AI in the EU's migration management systems. The chapters in this book provide readers with an opportunity to explore the challenges and developments related to privacy, data protection, and artificial intelligence. By presenting academic insights alongside contributions from practitioners, civil society, and the European Data Protection Supervisor, this interdisciplinary volume encapsulates the essence of the CPDP.ai 2024 conference.

To Govern or To Be Governed, That Is the Question

Data Protection, Privacy and Artificial Intelligence, Volume 17

Serge Gutwirth

This volume brings together papers that offer methodologies, conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the results of the eight annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy, and Data Protection, CPDP 2015, held in Brussels in January 2015. The book explores core concepts, rights and values in (upcoming) data protection regulation and their (in)adequacy in view of developments such as Big and Open Data, including the right to be forgotten, metadata, and anonymity. It discusses privacy promoting methods and tools such as a formal systems modeling methodology, privacy by design in various forms (robotics, anonymous payment), the opportunities and burdens of privacy self management, the differentiating role privacy can play in innovation. The book also discusses EU policies with respect to Big and Open Data and provides advice to policy makers regarding these topics. Also attention is being paid to regulation and its effects, for instance in case of the so-called ‘EU-cookie law’ and groundbreaking cases, such as Europe v. Facebook. This interdisciplinary book was written during what may turn out to be the final stages of the process of the fundamental revision of the current EU data protection law by the Data Protection Package proposed by the European Commission. It discusses open issues and daring and prospective approaches. It will serve as an insightful resource for readers with an interest in privacy and data protection.

Data Protection and Democracy

Data Protection and Privacy, Volume 12

David Wright

This book is about enforcing privacy and data protection. It demonstrates different approaches – regulatory, legal and technological – to enforcing privacy. If regulators do not enforce laws or regulations or codes or do not have the resources, political support or wherewithal to enforce them, they effectively eviscerate and make meaningless such laws or regulations or codes, no matter how laudable or well-intentioned. In some cases, however, the mere existence of such laws or regulations, combined with a credible threat to invoke them, is sufficient for regulatory purposes. But the threat has to be credible. As some of the authors in this book make clear – it is a theme that runs throughout this book – “carrots” and “soft law” need to be backed up by “sticks” and “hard law”. The authors of this book view privacy enforcement as an activity that goes beyond regulatory enforcement, however. In some sense, enforcing privacy is a task that befalls to all of us. Privacy advocates and members of the public can play an important role in combatting the continuing intrusions upon privacy by governments, intelligence agencies and big companies. Contributors to this book - including regulators, privacy advocates, academics, SMEs, a Member of the European Parliament, lawyers and a technology researcher – share their views in the one and only book on Enforcing Privacy.

Regulatory, Legal and Technological Approaches

Enforcing Privacy

Yves Poullet

This timely interdisciplinary work on current developments in ICT and privacy/data protection, coincides as it does with the rethinking of the Data Protection Directive, the contentious debates on data sharing with the USA (SWIFT, PNR) and the judicial and political resistance against data retention. The authors of the contributions focus on particular and pertinent issues from the perspective of their different disciplines which range from the legal through sociology, surveillance studies and technology assessment, to computer sciences. Such issues include cutting-edge developments in the field of cloud computing, ambient intelligence and PETs; data retention, PNR-agreements, property in personal data and the right to personal identity; electronic road tolling, HIV-related information, criminal records and teenager's online conduct, to name but a few.
