Gianluca PavoneSecurity and Data Protection

I have never managed to be interested in only one thing. Technology came first, when I was a teenager. It started with gaming, which turned into writing code, taking machines apart, and trying to work out what this internet thing actually was. Law came later, for the same reason. Another system, with its own rules and its own ways of getting around them.

The two stayed separate for years. What changed was not one thing. Security became something companies had to answer for, people began asking where their data went, and AI arrived with questions nobody had rules for yet. All of it pointed the same way: the law had to be in the room where the systems get built. Sorry about that.

That is what I have done ever since. Building information security management systems and AI governance inside companies, running privacy and security assessments, and lately making my own tools for the parts of the job I come back to every week. The instinct has not changed since I was a teenager with a keyboard: if a thing is interesting, take it apart and find out how it works.

Mathematics and philosophy are the next things I want to learn properly. Same reason as everything else here.
