Welcome to an interactive moot court workshop where law, technology, and a bit of drama collide. No wigs or court experience required. At the heart of the case is a modern clash: controllers who operate AI eager to innovate versus individuals demanding strong protection of their fundamental rights. With consent under pressure as a legal basis for AI, the spotlight shifts to legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. When is AI processing truly necessary? And where is the tipping point when balancing innovation and intrusion? You’ll step into a live legal battle shaped by current EU debates, including the Commission’s draft Article 88(c) GDPR. Together, we’ll test arguments and challenge assumptions. Think sharp arguments, real-world relevance, and lively discussion. If you like tech, rights, or just a good intellectual showdown, please join us!
