Your organisation wants to use AI. Before you get started, what do you need to understand about the tool and the information it will process? Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos explore the relationship between AI systems and data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), looking at both assessing AI tools and using AI to help prepare an assessment. They discuss purpose, lawful basis, supplier information, data flows and the importance of setting clear boundaries around how staff use AI. They also consider where AI can offer practical support, such as organising project information and suggesting questions, without replacing the judgement needed to assess the real risks. A completed document is only useful if it reflects what your organisation is actually doing. This conversation looks at how to keep that context, and human oversight, at the centre of the process.

The project is ready to launch. The supplier has been chosen. Then someone asks whether a Data Protection Impact Assessment has been completed. How much room is left to influence the decisions? In this episode of Data Protection Made Easy, Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos explore the timing of DPIAs and the practical challenge of involving data protection teams while projects are still taking shape. The conversation centres on a familiar issue for privacy professionals: how to make a DPIA a useful part of project planning rather than a last-minute request for sign-off. If you support projects, advise on data protection or regularly hear “can you just approve this?”, this episode is for you. Explore upcoming sessions: https://dataprotectionpeople.com/events/
