#privtech — Public Fediverse posts

I've been asked (for reasons) to put together a short bit on trends in #privacy and #dataprotection space over the next few years.

I've got quite a few thoughts on new developments, but would love to ask my fellow #privacy, #AI, #tech #lawfedi, #academic friends -- what impactful areas do you think will drive #privacy and #dataprotection ?

1) the impact of existing and future laws (like the #AIAct), on how we deal with new and novel #tech and its use of #personaldata
2) Regulatory and #enforcement shifts, particularly around the role of the #DPO, conflicts of interest, and #crossborder disputes
3) The death of #onestopshop and a breakdown of the #consistency mechanism as we know it?!
4) More #US states adopting #privacylaws similar to (but likely weaker than) the #CCPA. WAY more development of niche #dataprotection laws on AI, #biometrics & #kidsprivacy
5) More alignment from other countries on a #GDPR-like framework - notably in #India and countries in the Global South.
6) Tools like #chatgpt and other #privtech gradually starting to muscle out some of the manual #privacyops workloads, since there simply aren't enough folks capable of handling mountains of #DPAs, #TIAs, #DPIAs, #ROPAs, etc., etc.
7) Some sort of resolution on the whole new #ePrivacyRegs.
8) More muscling for digital / data #sovereignity & data #localization by countries around the world.

What say you ? Do these sound plausible or crazy? What do you think will be prioritized in the next year or five?
