"Cyberviolence, Vulnerability, and the Challenges of AI"

Cyberviolence, the use of computer systems and technology more generally to cause, facilitate, or threaten violence against individuals, has many manifestations, ranging from cyber harassment, online stalking, to intimate image abuse. While there is recognition that cyberviolence is a major problem, the age of offenders keeps on dropping, which means that new generations engage into aspects of cyberviolence. AI is often used as a tool to facilitate cyberviolence, for example for the creation of synthetic images or cloning of voices. Women and children are disproportionately victimised.  In April 2024, the new EU Directive on combating violence against women was adopted, which includes aspects of cyberviolence. In November 2024, the CoE Lanzarote Committee issued a Declaration on protecting children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse facilitated by emerging technologies.

Questions to be answered:
- How should cyberviolence be defined and are individuals more vulnerable to acts of cyberviolence under certain conditions?
- Which are the positive obligations of states on (cyber)violence and is there a difference between cyberviolence and (offline) violence?
- How effective are legal instruments and which are the expectations from new initiatives such as the Directive 2024/1385 and the AI Act?
- What should the role of very large online platforms be in detecting and reporting to law enforcement acts of cyberviolence and which are the limitations??

"Back to Basics: How Data Protection Principles Apply to AI Systems"


One of the most confronting challenges facing regulators, researchers, and public and private sector organizations today is determining the when, why, and how of the application of fundamental data protection principles to AI systems. The question is not only whether personal data is processed by such systems, but also of how foundational principles such as lawfulness, fairness, and transparency are challenged by the way such systems operate. Complex AI systems, particularly when forming part of a broader product or service, also invite us to determine how requirements around data minimization and accuracy can be assured, and how individual rights can be fulfilled.

Questions to be answered:
- How and where do AI systems challenge the principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency?
- Can the data minimization principle ever be reconciled with the extent of data processing required for training AI models?
- Consent or legitimate interest?
- To what extent can data subject rights still be protected and respected, and are there any tools that can help?
