About the Talk:
India’s perspective on large digital platforms and data governance in times of geopolitical rivalry
The current narrative of the digital constellation is characterised by a rivalry between the US and China. Europe tries to path a third way, taking the GDPR as a gold standard, and codifying the Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act, Data Act and AI Act. India asserts its own venue. I would like to discuss India’s Digital Personal Data Protection draft bill, the AI reports and the National Data Management Initiatives.
