Episode 32: Regulating information and data protection
Description
In this month's podcast, Institute Chair Marcial Boo talks to senior Information Commissioner's Office staff Emily Keaney and Angela Balakrishnan on how the ICO ensures our personal data are kept safe through the regulation of businesses and public bodies. Their discussion notes how good communications can encourage compliance, and how the ICO, like other regulators, sometimes has difficult conversations with those being regulated, using a range of regulatory tools to be effective. They also talk about the challenge of new technology, including AI, the importance of prioritising regulatory interventions, and how the first step is to get the basics right. You can hear the podcast here, with more information on the ICO website (ico.org.uk).
