Remarks by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to the Venice Privacy Symposium – Intervention on AI governance

Canada's Privacy Commissioner delivered remarks at the Venice Privacy Symposium, offering the office's position on AI governance frameworks. The intervention signals active engagement by a major national privacy authority in shaping international norms around artificial intelligence.

Why this matters: How regulators frame AI governance at international forums can directly influence individuals' rights over automated decision-making and data use. A privacy-centered voice in these discussions may help anchor emerging global standards around personal autonomy rather than purely commercial or security interests.

How big tech got its way on Trump’s AI executive order

President Trump scrapped a planned provision requiring government safety reviews of new AI models just before signing an executive order on artificial intelligence, reversing course after apparent industry pressure. The administration signaled it will prioritize AI deployment speed over pre-release oversight.

Why this matters: Removing mandatory safety reviews reduces a key checkpoint where harms to individuals — including surveillance capabilities, biometric systems, or discriminatory automation — might be caught before public deployment, leaving affected people with fewer protections and less recourse.

The inquiry comes as CISA is still struggling to contain the breach and invalidate the leaked credentials.

It’s easier for Californians to escape data brokers following a Markup investigation

Following a joint investigation by The Markup and CalMatters that exposed how website code was obstructing Californians' ability to submit data deletion requests, much of that obstructive code has since been removed from broker sites.

Why this matters: The episode illustrates how technical design choices — not just legal frameworks — can quietly undermine individuals' statutory privacy rights, and that independent accountability journalism can compel real-world changes in how those rights are exercised.

Establishing the shared foundations for collective AI security

The OECD's AI policy arm has published guidance aimed at establishing common frameworks for AI security, addressing threats such as prompt injection, model poisoning, and the risks posed by autonomous AI agents in deployment environments.

Why this matters: How AI security baselines are defined at an international level will shape what protections exist against manipulated or compromised systems that increasingly mediate access to personal data and make consequential decisions about individuals.

When withdrawal cannot be effectively exercised: Rethinking consent validity under the GDPR

A legal analysis published by the IAPP examines situations under GDPR where individuals nominally retain the right to withdraw consent but face practical barriers that render that right ineffective, raising questions about whether such consent should be considered legally valid in the first place.

Why this matters: If consent is treated as valid despite being practically irrevocable, individuals lose meaningful control over their personal data — reducing a core privacy right to a procedural formality rather than a genuine safeguard against ongoing data collection.
