In this webinar dedicated to the EU's “Digital Omnibus” package, Alessandro del Ninno provides a coherent reading of the European rules currently being approved that directly affect data, platforms, and artificial intelligence.
He will illustrate the objectives of this complex legislative initiative, which modifies (with a view not only to simplifying the digital regulatory framework but also to coordinating it) the “coexistence” between the main regulations of the EU Digital Decade (GDPR, Data Act, as well as DSA, DMA, and AI Act, etc.). For businesses, the practical effect will be that compliance management will shift from ‘obligations per individual regulation’ to ‘obligations per process’ (e.g., data lifecycle; incident management; supply chain; AI lifecycle).
From this perspective, the Digital Omnibus will have a positive impact on the daily operational choices of businesses and public administrations (internal governance, decision-making processes, supplier management, ICT and data-driven contracts, chains of responsibility).
Therefore, the webinar addresses the Digital Omnibus not only as a sort of EU “Simplification Law,” but also illustrates the coordination between the main regulatory blocks: the relationship between the GDPR and the Data Act in terms of data access, use, and sharing; the overlaps between the DSA, DMA, and AI Act in terms of obligations, roles, and safeguards; the implications for liability and contracts along the digital supply chain; and, finally, the issue of supervision and compliance priorities, with a focus on building a viable path for businesses.
