AI Act Expands the Role of Chief Privacy Officers: New Skills, New Responsibilities The European Union's AI Act is reshaping the landscape for Chief Privacy Officers (CPOs), as highlighted by Ron De Jesus, Field Chief Privacy Officer at Transcend, in his recent op-ed for The Parliament Magazine. The legislation requires CPOs to extend their oversight beyond traditional data protection to include transparency, fairness, copyright compliance, and data security in AI systems. This shift demands a deeper understanding of AI algorithms, machine learning models, and automated decision-making, adding new technical and ethical dimensions to the role. De Jesus emphasizes that the impact is already visible across industries such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce. To keep pace with these changes, organizations must invest in upskilling CPOs, providing them with the knowledge to navigate AI's complex legal and technical challenges. Additionally, a reallocation of resources is necessary to support these expanded responsibilities, ensuring CPOs can lead their companies through this evolving regulatory environment. #AIAct#DataPrivacy#CPO#AIGovernance
