Qatar's Pioneering Efforts in Safeguarding Personal Data Amidst the AI Revolution

-


In a significant stride towards data protection, the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) recently hosted a seminar titled “Data Protection in the Age of AI,” aligning with International Data Privacy Day. In collaboration with the American Department of Commerce, the event featured experts in data protection, legal professionals, and speakers from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The discussions at the seminar delved into global best practices in data privacy principles and explored the intersection of data protection and artificial intelligence (AI). Key areas of focus included the regulatory landscape for AI, the pivotal role of AI in ensuring regulatory compliance, and considerations surrounding cross-border privacy rules. Notably, the seminar shed light on Generative AI (GenAI) as a strategic tool for enhancing defenses, potentially providing a crucial advantage to organizations in fortifying their cybersecurity policies.

During the event, QFC highlighted Qatar's groundbreaking position as the first Gulf country and the third in the Arab world to enact a law dedicated to protecting the privacy of personal data. Law number 13, ratified in 2016, outlines a comprehensive framework aimed at capacity building, promoting innovation, encouraging research and development, and ensuring the security of the state's cyberspace.

The seminar coincided with Data Privacy Day, endorsed by the European Union (EU), corresponding to the signing of the Council of Europe Convention number 108. This convention governs best practices related to the use of personal data across various technologies, underscoring Qatar's commitment to aligning its practices with global standards.
