How should employers respond when AI is used to create complex, high volume, or strategically motivated requests?
Anyone can now use generative AI to turn a routine subject access request into a lengthy, highly detailed document. For your organisation, that means more data to locate, review and redact, and more pressure on already stretched teams.
Join us for a buffet lunch and live panel session during the CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition 2026.
Specialist DPOs and industry experts will discuss some of the difficult judgement calls faced by increasingly complex DSARs, and how to respond in a proportionate and defensible way while respecting individual rights.
What we’ll cover
- How AI is driving the scale and complexity of employee requests
- The warning signs that a request may be strategically motivated
- When you can legally challenge or limit what’s being asked for
- Whether WhatsApp messages and emojis count as personal data
The session will close with a panel Q&A and time to network with fellow attendees.
Buffet lunch provided
