As AI-driven technologies rapidly evolve across the Middle East, organizations are rethinking how they manage personal information, ensure digital trust, and prepare for new regulatory expectations. From automated decision-making to intelligent data processing, AI offers powerful capabilities—but it also raises complex privacy challenges that demand strong governance frameworks and international best practices.

This Regional Webinar provides a comprehensive overview of how organizations can balance AI innovation with robust data protection.

Join us to explore how organizations can strengthen privacy programs, improve transparency, and build a secure foundation for adopting AI responsibly.

Among other topics, this session will cover:

Latest developments in data privacy and the growing role of AI in the Middle East
How AI affects personal information processing, privacy risks, and compliance requirements
Key updates and considerations related to ISO/IEC 27701 and its application in AI-driven environments
