My experience with countries in the global south is.... If you take Africa, for example, and South America, many of those nations are not copying and pasting the GDPR, but they are certainly taking inspiration from the GDPR.
I think the GDPR is a global standard. There are different cultures and different legal systems, which means that it's not going to look the same as the GDPR, but certainly the principles are the same. Respect and the need for privacy and data protection are fundamental rights.
The Middle East is different again. I was recently in Dubai. I met with the minister for AI and talked to many businesses in the Middle East about their approach to data protection and transporter data flows. It certainly is innovation-forward. It's taking a different track than what I see happening in the global south. India's law is also being amended, reformed and passed. It's a very exciting time to see what's happening in that country.
