Overview

"Data Minimisation: Can it Save the Planet?" tackles the urgent issue of data's environmental impact within AI and data-driven tech. This session, highly relevant to a Data & AI themed space, examines the challenges of balancing climate commitments with the realities of data growth.". We'll examine GDPR's data minimisation principle, exploring its role in carbon reduction and efficiency.

Join Luke Beckley, DPO, Head of Privacy & Data Governance at Corella (and self-proclaimed Data Provocateur), and Morgan Attias, Product Innovation Manager at Infotel, for a dynamic presentation and Q&A. Luke brings his expertise in data privacy and governance, challenging conventional data paradigms, while Morgan contributes insights on product innovation and system efficiency.

The format includes an engaging presentation, followed by a live Q&A via a barcode system. We'll present data-backed insights on data processing and energy use, offering practical steps for organisations to adopt data minimisation. Key topics: mapping data to carbon footprints, streamlining audits, and improving data governance.

Expect a blend of theory and real-world examples, empowering attendees to take data responsibility. We'll discuss data quantity vs. quality, and regulatory compliance's role in sustainability. Prepare for a thought-provoking discussion on data minimisation's potential for a sustainable future.
