The EU AI Act - Navigating its impact on South Africa
LES South Africa

The aim of this training is to provide you with essential knowledge of the EU AI Act and help you understand its implications for non-EU countries, with a specific focus on South Africa.

While most of the focus from LES sessions have been on the IP impacts of AI in Africa (and abroad), the regulatory aspects are becoming more important and it is anticipated that this field will grow to rival data privacy compliance. It will be essential to have an understanding of this field when advising clients on AI related mandates.

 

The Session will be presented by Ms Leanne Voerman, Privacy Counsel at DEPT® and member of the Digital Ethics Advisory Panel. Leanne started her career in IP law in South Africa, before pivoting to the regulatory environment and data protection.

In recent years Leanne has been close to AI-regulatory developments in Europe and is considered to be an expert in the field. With her firm understanding of South Africa law and the commercial environment, Leanne is well placed to present on the regulatory impacts if the EU AI Act in a South African context.
