Conference Description

Objective

This seminar will investigate how manipulative design practices, often referred to as dark patterns, threaten core principles of data protection law: transparency, informed consent, fairness, and autonomy. These techniques can exploit users’ cognitive biases or personal data to push them toward decisions they might not otherwise make. 

Key topics

  • Technology as an enabler of GDPR and AI Act compliance;
  • Practical use cases of PETs, automation and AI tools;
  • Regulatory expectations and AI auditing approaches;
  • Bridging law and practice through innovation.

Who should attend?

Lawyers in private practice, data protection and IT lawyers, in-house counsel, EU and national civil servants, DPOs and compliance officers, regulators and policy advisors, academics and researchers.
