Where does the Labour government stand on data protection, cyber security and AI?
Of all the Bills announced in the King’s Speech, some are relevant for those working in the data protection, digital information and data security space. The Government has appointed a Minister of State for Data Protection and Telecoms. His name is Sir Chris Bryant, MP.
The government recently brought an updated version of the Data Protection and Digital Information (DPDI) Bill to parliament. It is currently in the Lords and will make the statute book very soon. This much anticipated sequel will reportedly save British businesses billions of pounds in unnecessary paperwork. Folks on the web will apparently no longer be bothered by so many annoying cookie popups when browsing the web. Is it an enhanced GDPR? This seems unlikely. It is likely to be another framework.
