It's Monday morning after a well-earned weekend. You open your inbox to find three DPIA requests, a potential data breach notification, and a colleague asking whether that new tool is "GDPR-proof". Sound familiar? Then you already know your day won't unfold quite as you imagined when you closed your laptop on Friday.
Privacy professionals are drowning in work. Not because the work is too difficult, but because there's simply so much of it, and it seems to keep growing. Writing DPIAs, assessing data breaches, updating privacy notices, answering colleagues' questions: each task demands knowledge, attention, and time.
Can't AI just solve this...?
The question you knew was coming. The answer: yes and no. You've probably asked ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot a privacy question at some point. The response may sound polished enough, but it usually lacks context. These models are getting better at interpreting and assessing the law, yet they often don't truly understand your organisation. Without additional information, they don't know your policies, which choices seem logical based on the law but genuinely won't work for your organisation, or something as simple as which templates you use.
Standard AI tools are generic. They give you a starting point, but not necessarily a reliable end result. And if you're unaware of their limitations, you may be working with output that is downright unreliable. That's precisely the problem: privacy professionals who want to use AI need an assistant that understands their field, works with their own documents, and fits within their organisation's framework.
What if you could build that assistant yourself?
That's exactly why we'll be building these assistants during the training Build Your Own AI Assistant for Privacy & Compliance. No slides about what AI could theoretically do (well, perhaps a few, because it's interesting), but a day where you actually build. You choose your own use case: a DPIA assistant, a data breach coach, or a privacy checker, whatever best fits your daily work.
The approach is deliberately practical. Before the training day, you complete a short e-learning module of roughly one to two hours covering the fundamentals of AI and language models. On the training day itself, you get straight to work. You learn how to integrate your own knowledge, templates, and workflows into an AI system, how to improve and steer AI output, and how to do all of this responsibly, because that's where it really begins.
Why is ''responsibly'' so important here?
Responsible use matters because, as a privacy professional, you know AI isn't something you simply pick up on the side. Even though it sometimes feels like that is the default for many people, we need to consider questions such as: what data are you processing? Where does the model store that data? Who has access to the output? For us privacy professionals, these aren't side issues: they're the core of our field.
In this training, we give these questions the attention they deserve. You learn not only how to build, but also what to think through before deploying AI. Consider agreements on which data you may and may not enter, how to work safely with sensitive information, and how to embed that practically. We take it a step further by focusing on your field, with privacy as the starting point.
Your own AI assistant
You'll gain substantial knowledge on topics such as how to apply Privacy by Design to AI, how language models handle data, and how to enrich them with your own sources and documents. By the end of the day, you'll have a framework for your own AI assistant. If you like, you can start using it the very next morning. You'll also receive two months of free access to our professional AI environment, so you can continue working immediately after the training.
The training is designed for Privacy Officers, Data Protection Officers (DPOs), Compliance Officers, Legal Advisers, and Legal Counsel. You don't need a technical background. If you work with privacy and compliance daily and want to use AI in a way that fits your profession, this is your starting point.
Get started!
The next training takes place on 30 June 2026 in Amsterdam. The training lasts one day, awards 7 PE points (CCLTE: CAICO® and CAILI®), and costs €975 excluding VAT. Prefer an in-house version for your team? That's also possible. Get in touch via the training page for more information.
