AI dominates focus at 47th Global Privacy Assembly
25/11/2025 | Future of Privacy Forum
The 47th Global Privacy Assembly (GPA), hosted by South Korea in September 2025, adopted three resolutions that indicate a narrowed, intensified focus on artificial intelligence (AI) among the world's data protection authorities (DPAs).
In contrast to previous years, the 2025 resolutions concentrated on specific AI issues and digital literacy.
The adopted resolutions covered the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data for pre-training, training, and fine-tuning AI models; the need for meaningful human oversight of decisions involving AI systems; and digital education, privacy and data protection.
The resolutions demonstrate a regulatory consensus that frames AI policy around a risk-based evaluation and promotes mutual international cooperation through the GPA. In addition, regulators are moving beyond broad principles to focus on concrete issues related to AI's impact on personal data processing and bias-related issues.
