The APDCAT participates in the Smart City Expo Congress

This year, the Catalan Data Protection Authority (APDCAT) will take the defense of privacy to the Smart City Expo Congress. In this sense, the director Meritxell Borras, and the head of the Legal Advisory, Xavier Urios, will intervene on Thursday 6 at 6.15 pm in the Ágora space, at the conference 'The role of data protection in the context of smart cities'.

The incorporation of new technologies and, in particular, artificial intelligence, when defining the implementation of public policies and decision-making represents a paradigm shift. For this reason, the day will focus on how the design of public policies in environments such as smart cities cannot be done apart from data protection regulations and, especially, must be kept in mind from the start , as a consequence of privacy by design and by default.
