On Thursday 18th July we held a webinar hosted by Tim Hyman, author of the LOCS:23 Standard (the first GDPR accreditation standard approved by the ICO for legal services).
Tim talked about the LOCS:23 standard and accreditation, and how this enables firms to demonstrate their commitment to GDPR compliance. Ensuring that AI complies with ICO requirements was covered, in particular the impact of IT on enabling compliance.
We are very grateful to Tim for very kindly offering all webinar attendees a free code enrol on the ‘AI Privacy Practitioner’ course, which I can personally recommend.
