This advanced-level workshop is tailored for seasoned privacy professionals seeking to benchmark and refine their risk assessment practices across global regulatory frameworks, including EU/UK GDPR DPIAs and U.S. assessment requirements. Operating under Chatham House Rule, the session fosters open, candid peer-to-peer discussion.

Prior to the workshop, participants will be asked to submit sanitized examples of real-world privacy assessments. Facilitators will analyze these submissions to develop a set of “Assessment Study Results,” which will highlight key trends, challenges, and best practices from across the cohort.

During the session, participants will engage in guided discussion of the study findings, share personal insights, and explore practical strategies for navigating assessment hurdles. Attendees will leave with study materials, benchmarking data, and the opportunity to contribute to a forthcoming article in CLA’s Privacy Journal.

This interactive workshop walks participants step‑by‑step through conducting an AI/ML Impact Assessment (AIMLIA)—a structured framework for identifying legal, ethical, and operational risks in machine learning systems. Designed for attorneys, privacy professionals, and in‑house counsel, the session demystifies AI risk reviews by applying the AIMLIA method to a live mock use case.

Participants will explore how to identify and mitigate red flags, align system components with U.S. legal frameworks (such as CCPA/CPRA, GLBA, and FTC guidance), and address cross‑border compliance obligations under the EU AI Act and GDPR. The session focuses on translating regulatory expectations into practical workflows—building defensible records, flagging risks early, and communicating findings to both legal and technical teams.

This is a workshop for people who want to do the work—not just talk about it.
