ESR Barbara Lazarotto at CPDP LatAm 2024

On July 17th, ESR Barbara Lazarotto participated in a panel discussion on ‘The Impact of EU AI Regulation on Latin American AI Governance: Emerging AI Authorities?’ at CPDP Latam.

The event took place at FGV Cultural Center in Botafogo, in Rio de Janeiro, focusing on discussing diverse data protection topics in Latin America in its two-day program. For this reason, the Conference has a diverse audience and is held in three official languages: Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Although the Conference was held in person, the opening and closing plenaries were live-streamed, and live translation services were also offered.

The panel took a comparative approach by addressing the different complexities and challenges faced by Brazil, Chile, and the European Union when it comes to the AI governance models. The Panel was moderated by Ine van Zeeland (SMIT, VUB), joined by speakers Lucas Borges de Carvalho (ANPD), Pedro Martins (Data Privacy Brasil), Alberto Cerda (law professor from the University of Chile), Bárbara Lazarotto (LSTS, VUB), and Filipe Medon (FGV).

Barbara also submitted a paper co-authored with Rocco Saverino and Pablo Trigo Kramcsák to the CPDP Latam 2024 call for papers.
