The ethics of data: Thinking beyond law

These days, data is at the heart of everything we do. From AI recruitment tools to third-party tracking, data-driven decisions can have far-reaching and often unintended consequences. But unintended doesn’t mean unforeseen.

We live in a data-driven world where every click, swipe, and decision creates value, but who benefits, and at what cost?

In this thought-provoking session of The Right Advice Breakfast Series, we’ll explore how data and technology shape our daily lives, the ethical questions they raise, and why ‘legal’ doesn’t always mean ‘right’.

What we’ll cover:

• How data impacts your business, clients, and community
• The unintended consequences of new technology
• Simple ethical tests you can apply to guide decision-making
• How to build trust by going beyond legal compliance
• Real examples of how data misuse has affected businesses and individuals
• From bias in AI to privacy in practice, join us for a conversation that’s as relevant to business as it is to everyday life.

Who’s speaking?

• Emma Martins, Special Advisor – Law At Work (former Data Protection Commissioner – ODPA)
• Heidi Gibaut, Group Executive Director – Law At Work

No matter what sector you work in, this session will leave you better equipped to navigate the digital world with confidence and clarity.
