Theory is easy. Operational pressure is where privacy programs actually get tested - and right now, AI is doing the testing. In this episode, Steve and Alex move the conversation to where it matters: the day-to-day decisions privacy teams are navigating, the gaps in current tooling, and how to make AI work for governance without letting it quietly erode human accountability.

What's covered in this episode:

• Where current privacy stacks are falling short when AI enters the picture
• The real hesitations DPOs feel about AI tools
• Wins worth replicating and what they wish they'd known sooner
• How AI can support governance without removing human accountability

Host:

• Steve Wright: Founder, CEO - PICCASO

Guest speaker:

• Alex Van Cauwenbergh: CEO, Responsum

The latest episode of the Privacy & Security Insights Podcast with PICCASO is here, featuring Carolyn Hubble, Director of ICO Legal Service (FOIA & Prosecutions). She explores the growing focus on criminal data prosecutions, where the ICO is securing prison sentences, community service, and financial penalties for serious data offences under laws like the Computer Misuse Act and Proceeds of Crime Act. As data crimes become more sophisticated, Carolyn shares key insights on how organisations should adapt to the evolving regulatory landscape to protect sensitive data.

Kicking off the new season, José Martín Quesada, CEO and Co-Founder of Krew, takes on one of today’s big challenges: finding the right balance between driving innovation with AI and meeting privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.

In this episode, José shares practical advice for organisations looking to use advanced AI technologies while staying on top of data protection requirements. He shares compliance strategies, how to build privacy into the design of products and services, and new tools that make responsible innovation possible.
