Welcome to the Formiti Privacy Deep Dive with Annie and Rob. AI Governance vs Data Privacy

For three years, the industry has been warned that the “AI Regulation Wave” was coming. As we close out 2025, the warning phase is over. The wave has crashed.

We are now living through “The Great Collision”—the moment where the unstoppable force of AI innovation has slammed into the immovable object of Global Privacy Law.

In this episode, we survey the wreckage of the old corporate silos:

  • The New CPO Mandate: Why the Chief Privacy Officer can no longer just protect data; they must now protect fundamental human rights.

  • The New CTO Reality: Why the Chief Technology Officer can no longer just ship code; they must now ship conformity assessments.

  • The Boardroom Battle: How to resolve the inevitable friction when speed-to-market collides with mandatory governance.

The comfortable separation between “Tech” and “Legal” is gone.

Tune in to learn how to survive the crash and rebuild a unified governance strategy.
