Description:
With the deepening of globalization and digitalization, the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) have become a core driving force for economic innovation and social progress. As AI research and deployment bring both opportunities and security risks, people across different regions of the world are increasingly recognizing the crucial role of fair and effective legal regulations in personal information protection. They also realize that safeguarding personal information in the AI era requires a comprehensive ecosystem and robust legal frameworks. This workshop aims to bring together global stakeholders-including government entities, civil society, technical communities, and the private sector-from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Participants will engage in discussions on the development and evolution of AI and personal information protection, assess key concerns and challenges in this field, and explore legal frameworks and best practices for personal information protection in the AI era.

Expected Outcomes
This session will generate actionable insights on aligning legal frameworks with AI-driven personal data protection challenges. Expected outcomes include:
Policy Recommendations. A set of best practices and regulatory considerations for strengthening AI governance and personal data protection.
Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue. Enhanced collaboration among policymakers, legal experts, technologists, and civil society to bridge regulatory gaps.
Knowledge Sharing. A summary document compiling key takeaways, case studies, and innovative solutions discussed.
Additionally, the session’s findings may contribute to future research, policy discussions, or follow-up workshops on AI regulation and data privacy at IGF and beyond.
Hybrid Format: Utilize appropriate video conferencing tools such as Zoom or similar platforms, complemented with online/offline audiovisual streaming equipment, to ensure that online participants have a comprehensive view of the conference venue throughout the entire duration. Simultaneously, guarantee that offline speakers and attendees have full visibility of all online participants.
The conference is structured into four main segments: opening remarks, keynote speeches, interactive Q&A sessions, and closing remarks. The on-site host and online host will collaborate seamlessly to organize and host the entire event, ensuring efficient time management and providing ample opportunities for all stakeholders to express their views. Following the completion of on-site speeches, the hosts will guide online participants to share real-time insights and perspectives on the conference theme.
Throughout the conference, a comprehensive assessment should be made regarding the adoption of suitable tools/platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or Weibo.
