Data trusts, a legal vehicle to restore the balance between the protection of personal data and the rise of artificial intelligence

At the dawn of the boom of artificial intelligence solutions within our society, we may be concerned about the precariousness of our legal framework for the management of personal data.

This presentation highlights the shortcomings of the consent model that governs the use of our data and proposes the concept of data trusts as a new legal vehicle to find the proper balance between the protection of personal data and the rise of artificial intelligence.

This webinar is presented by IID (Institute Intelligence and Data) of Université Laval, in collaboration with Element AI.
