CPDP.ai 2025: THE WORLD IS WATCHING

The European Union has produced digital legislation at an astonishing rate, both regulating to control existing technological phenomena – such as AI – and to shape specific social constructs built upon technical phenomena – such as the European Health DataSpace. Perhaps more than ever, EU digital frameworks are expected to cast regulatory shadows across the world.

However, while theBrussels effect may have proliferated specific privacy and data protection practices worldwide, it also risks reinforcing existing global power dynamics.Stringent EU data export rules can, for example, hinder the competitiveness of the Global South. Besides, many other actors shape digitalisation in verydifferent ways, especially in times of geopolitical change. In such a context, can we expect the norm-setting, global influence of European legislation in thedata protection and privacy fields to be paralleled and even strengthened in related digital legislation areas?

The Brussels effect of AI regulation may be blunted by the complexity and diversity of the governance arrangements that are created through political processes at many levels, from the local to the global. These may cut across the high aims and stringent rules adopted in Brussels, and lead to a false sense of security and lack of public confidence in the safeguarding of information rights and other values in an AI-driven world. Challenges for privacy and data protection are complicated further by surveillance and data grabbing practices that constrain policymakers, industry and other digital actors. Consumer expectations and technological innovations also have a role to play. To navigate these complexities, perhaps more than ever, and in more than one way, legislators, governments, regulators, data protection officers, civil society, industry and academia across the globe are watching the digital world, and each other.

CPDP2022 Postponed: FAQ – A guide for Conference partners, Panel organisers, Liaisons and Attendees

1. Logistics

What are the current COVID-19 measures inBelgium?
The measures in Belgium are decided on the basis of a barometer, with three colour-coded phases: yellow, orange and red. Belgium is currently under code yellow which means that:
· For people who are vaccinated, or have been tested before departure, there are no further testing or quarantine-requirements upon arrival in Belgium
· The Covid Safe Ticket is no longer required to access the hospitality sector or events
· Wearing a face mask on public transport is mandatory, and is recommended in indoor, crowded areas

The CPDP team will continue to adhere to strict air quality requirements in indoor areas.We will continue to update this page regularly and continue to work with all partners to make sure CPDP is a Covid-safe conference.
Please keep a close eye on our FAQ page and consult the official Coronavirus barometer for Belgium here.

Where will CPDP2022 take place?
CPDP2022 will take place in Les Halles de Schaerbeek and Area42, our usual meeting places in Brussels, Belgium.
