In this episode of TRIANGLE by SWAIS, we explore the complex relationship between artificial intelligence, data protection and global regulation with Dr. Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna, Vice President for Global Privacy at the Future of Privacy Forum.

With 15 years of experience at the intersection of data protection law, AI governance and global privacy policy, Gabriela joins hosts Timea Nagy and Rui Pedro Duarte to examine how existing laws already apply to AI, the legal challenges surrounding training data, and how organisations can build effective AI governance across teams.

The conversation also explores the changing global influence of EU regulation, the growing fragmentation of AI rules worldwide, and whether regulatory sandboxes can truly support responsible innovation. Together, they discuss how organisations can move beyond compliance and turn AI governance into a strategic capability.

How can AI help governments move from bureaucracy to service delivery? In this episode, Portugal's Minister of State Reform, Gonçalo Matias, discusses AI-driven public sector transformation, digital sovereignty, and the future of modern government.
