efforts in establishing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-ready data center.

compliance measures into their operations.
Commissioner
Kassait acknowledged the significance of AI in today's digital landscape but stressed
that its development and deployment must be accompanied by robust data
protection safeguards. She encouraged IX Data Center to prioritize data
protection compliance, ensuring that their infrastructure and services meet the
highest standards of data privacy and security.

partnership is particularly timely, given the rapidly evolving ICT and privacy
landscape. The training program aims to equip DPOs with the necessary skills
and knowledge to navigate the complexities of data protection and ensure
compliance with relevant regulations.
