About this episode
AI is changing the way we work, live, and build businesses — but it also raises big questions about privacy. As AI tools process more personal and sensitive data, how can companies make sure they follow privacy laws like GDPR? How can privacy be built into AI from the very beginning? And what’s the best way to handle data retention so users stay in control? In this episode of the FIT4Privacy Podcast, host Punit Bhatia speaks with Sylvestre Dupont, co-founder of Parser, about how to keep privacy at the heart of AI tools and services. They discuss why privacy matters in AI, how to build privacy by design into AI from the start, and what it takes to make an AI-based SaaS tool GDPR compliant. Sylvestre also shares his approach to data retention — letting users choose how long their data is stored — and why trust is a key advantage for any business handling personal data. If you work with AI, personal data, or GDPR, this episode gives you clear and practical ideas you can use right away. 🎧 Listen now to learn how to combine AI innovation with strong privacy protection.
