From backlog to breakthrough: Using AI in privacy work and governing it across the enterprise
The IAPP has published guidance on applying AI to privacy operations and on building enterprise-level governance around AI use. The piece addresses both how privacy teams can use AI to reduce backlogs and how organizations should oversee AI across their broader operations.
Why this matters: Privacy teams are drowning in requests, and AI can genuinely help move faster. That part is real. But using AI to do privacy work is not the same as governing AI across an organization. Both problems land on the same small group of people. If privacy teams are expected to run the backlog and set the guardrails, they need actual authority and resources, not just another project added to the pile.
