We find ourselves perhaps midway through a decade of the biggest set of regulatory changes that providers, operators and users of digital technologies have ever faced.
Via the inspiration of 70s/80s/90s song titles, we reflected on the impact of those changes to date on all business sectors and consider the impacts of the regulation still to come.
Please note, this event has now passed.
Session 1: 13:40 - 14:20
‘(A)I shot the sheriff (but it didn’t shoot the deputy)’
What: Warren G rapped effectively about Regulators, but that was 1994, and 31 years later where are we now on the regulation of AI and its interaction with the thing that makes it really useful – data? In this session we’ll look at the status of UK, EU and US AI legislation – the interaction with UK And EU GDPR – and what we expect 2025 onwards will bring for AI.
Who: Andrew Joint and Lawrence Brown
Session 2: 14:20 - 15:00
'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? or Woop, woop! That’s the sound of da police!’
What: The global internet is confronting enhanced national and international regulation over the Digital Decade as never before. Who is ‘policing the police’ here and what is the path through the topography of digital content and safety legislation in 2025 and beyond?
Who: Calum Muray and Alejandro Guerrero
Session 3: 15:00 - 15:40
‘Under Pressure’: data and the law
What: Do big questions deserve big answers? 20 years since the last material piece of UK IP legislation – where are we with data ownership legislation in a world of GenAI, trillion dollar valued intangible asset owning corporations and geo-political data sovereignty issues? In this session we’ll discuss how you best prepare your business’ IP for the landscape, now and to come.
Who: Rich Folsom and Priya Nagpal
Session 4: 16:00 - 16:40
'Wonder(fire)wall: maybe, this session on resilience issues could be the one to save me?
What: BA, DORA, NIS, NIS2 (so good it needed a sequel...) - we are operating in a world where resilience and veracity of technologies and supply-chains are under ever-increasing regulation. Covid, Ukraine War, then Crowdstrike’s 2024 outage - disruption comes from many sources and in different ways – all a reminder that this issue is well past ‘theoretical’ risk. We will canter through the gauntlet of regulation that applies to you now – and is in progress.
Who: Sophie Sheldon and Hinal Patel
Session 5: 16:40 - 17:20
‘I’ve got the Key(note)’ with Lord Chris Holmes
Lord (Chris) Holmes of Richmond will explore the UK's current stance on tech regulation, its economic and social impacts, and future legislative directions. He will also compare the UK's approach with that of the US, EU, and APAC, offering insights into global tech legislation trends. A session not to be missed.
He'll then take audience questions led by Alex Brown.
Wrap up: 17:20 - 17:30
Closing comments with Alex Brown followed by drinks in the foyer.
