Seven Years of GDPR: Balancing Power Between Organizations and Data Subjects Through Trust

Seven Years of GDPR: Balancing Power Between Organizations and Data Subjects Through Trust

Author: Punit Bhatia | Data Privacy, Sourcing & EU AI Act Specialist | ISO Standards October 2, 2025 Duration: 9:34

What happens when power is not matched with responsibility?


In this episode snippet, we explore the idea of power‑responsibility equilibrium a powerful concept that explains why trust in organizations is built… or broken. As companies gain access to more data and more influence, the question becomes: are they exercising that power responsibly?


Through the lens of GDPR, we unpack how regulation has reshaped the balance—giving individuals new rights and forcing organizations to rethink how they collect, use, and justify data. From real-world examples to the shift in organizational behavior, this conversation reveals how law, trust, and accountability are deeply connected.


But here’s the bigger question: 
Can trust be enforced through regulation, or should it come from doing the right thing by design?


👉 Tune in to the full episode to explore how GDPR has reshaped power, responsibility, and trust and what it means for the future of privacy and AI governance.
