Last week, the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) hosted its first-ever AI Governance Global conference in Boston. It was maxed out at 1,200 attendees, many of whom were lawyers, technologists and tech policy advisers for various countries.

The conference sought to align its more traditional focus on data privacy with the new hulking role of artificial intelligence in the legal and tech spheres. Panels ranged from how the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) would (or could) accommodate AI technology, the Federal Trade Commission’s efforts at algorithmic disgorgement, the U.S. AI executive order, and more.
