Under the Privacy Act, entities must ensure that any use or disclosure of personal information remains lawful, fair, and within the individual’s reasonable expectations. But what happens when AI introduces new forms of processing to repurposed personal information - i.e. uses never contemplated, and never consented to, at the time of collection? Join us for a focused and practical learning session examining a transforming environment where ongoing consent may be unclear, and the boundaries of permissible data use continue to shift.
