The AI Revolution and Regulation: From Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) to Artificial Intelligence (AI) 

This talk will cover the current landscape of regulation in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT), with a particular focus on state level approaches in Colorado and California, as well as international regulatory frameworks, namely the EU’s GDPR, and forthcoming AI Act. Professor de la Torre and Mr. Le will discuss and compare the definitions, rights, obligations and applicability of these regulations and how that may impact consumers, businesses and the future of AI and ADMT.

Prof. de la Torre is a dual-qualified attorney (US/EU) and teaches privacy, data protection, and A.I. courses at UC Davis Law and U.C. Law San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings).

Prof. de la Torre is the founding partner of the teaching law firm Golden Data Law (GDL). GDL serves clients in the not-for-profit sector, and its mission is to mentor a diverse and inclusive group of law students and recent grads so that they can grow into solid ethical professionals. Prior to her appointment, Prof. de la Torre served as an of-counsel to Squire Patton Boggs and had in-house counsel roles at several multinational organizations.

Prof. de la Torre was appointed to the CPPA Board by the California Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins in March 2021 and served on the Advisory Board of Californians for Consumer Privacy (CPPA) during the Prop 24 ballot campaign. The CPPA is a California state government agency created by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA) as the first dedicated privacy regulator in the United States.

Prof. de la Torre is an international expert in data protection issues and the European Union’s approach to regulating data and A.I. in particular. Her background brings unique experience-based knowledge to the CPPA Board.
