As countries develop their privacy and cybersecurity frameworks, technology continues to change and policymakers face hard questions. This roundtable will take a deep dive on three sets of questions facing policymakers, privacy regulators, tech innovators, and citizens around the world: (1) Artificial intelligence: What do AI and machine learning mean for the future of data protection? How can we protect values of fairness and accountability as increasingly complex systems make decisions about individuals? (2) Facial recognition: What rules should govern the deployment of facial recognition in commercial settings? (3) Privacy harms and enforcement: How do we define privacy harms? What kinds of data usages or disclosure should trigger any right to redress? With some “firestarter” presentations, the discussion will be open-ended and off-the-record.
