In Episode 262 of The Data Diva Talks Privacy Podcast, Debbie Reynolds, The Data Diva, talks with Nicola Fabiano, Lawyer, Data Protection, Data Governance and Cybersecurity Advisor, and Author, about how defining artificial intelligence clearly is essential to regulating it effectively. They explain why the world must move beyond broad general terms and begin focusing on artificial intelligence systems to ensure that legal frameworks match the real operational and privacy impacts already influencing everyday life. Nicola shares his view that society is not entering the age of AI, but is finally recognizing its long standing presence and the complexity behind its rapid expansion.

They explore the delicate balance between innovation and fundamental rights as advanced AI becomes deeply integrated into global business, government, infrastructure, and daily decision making. The conversation addresses gaps in traditional oversight, the need for practical governance tools, and how neural network development challenges prior assumptions about data, consent, control, and risk. Nicola outlines why privacy law cannot operate in isolation, but must link with technical standards and ethical expectations to truly protect individuals and prevent unintended harm.

Listeners will gain insight into Nicola’s multi layer approach, which combines legal, scientific, operational, and ethical perspectives to keep AI growth aligned with human values. This episode underscores why collaboration across disciplines is critical for setting boundaries that encourage responsible progress, reduce uncertainty, and build trust in intelligent systems with global influence
