DIFC releases it’s amended Data Protection Regulations

Ok, is it for me?

Do you operate out of the DIFC? Are you a landlord in the DIFC? Do you develop digital technology, or are a marketing/communication professional and work with businesses in the DIFC? If so, yes!

 Fine. Three sentences only please.

The keyword is generative Artificial Intelligence and ensuring adherence to ethical obligations to avoid unwanted bias.

Also about the ability to control data even after it has been shared, i.e. the rights of data subjects (people sharing data).

And controls and safeguards to be built into digital systems, including privacy by design into generative AI and machine learning systems.

If you're interested in learning more about how the DIFC plans to protect your personal data, make sure to check out the Consultation Paper here. The proposed amendments are open for public consultation until May 17, 2023, so you can even provide your own feedback and help shape the future of data protection in the DIFC!
