#65: A Therapy Session for inhouse privacy and the Ultimate Romantic Gesture

Oct 01 2024 71 mins  
Get ready for a super META conversation—no, not about social media, but about who we are and what we really do. Milla and Laura are joined by the privacy guru herself, Natalija Bitiukova (Head of Privacy at Carlsberg). They almost spent the entire episode talking about beer, but once they tapped into Natalija’s epic level of privacy geekdom, the focus shifted back to our roles

The world of privacy and AI shook and trembled when Hamburg's Data Protection Authority published its edgy discussion paper on Large Language Models (LLM).

Aug 20 2024 52 mins  
See how we get back to podcasting after the brat summer? Very demure, very mindful. We are not like these other podcasts, we don’t come back for the new season with a half-planned episode, we don’t use chatGPT to make notes, we don’t record too long episodes where half of it is just giggling–we’re very mindful, very considerate, very cutesy. In today’s very considerate

Jun 23 2024 65 mins  
Prepare to get your mind blown (and not necessarily in a good way) - in this episode Laura, Floora, Pilvi, Milla and Hannes (what a full house!) discuss the theory and practice behind data processing roles. What is the background of the roles, what is working and not working - why does CJEU want everyone to be joint controllers, what about the AI Act and much more. If you bear wit

Time will tell how or if the regulation will
