Ditch the Regulatory Labyrinth: We Have a Playbook for Global Compliance
Monday, 30 March
15:30 - 16:30 EDT
Intermediate level
Have you struggled to maintain a global privacy or AI governance program that is both agile enough to adapt to local markets but seamlessly eases compliance frictions? An unlikely duo — global development organizations and an international privacy certification program for online games — share how to build privacy protections from the ground up to create a playbook for global solutions. The World Bank embeds privacy by design into the fabric of its global development work. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation balances how to build a framework for privacy and trust while also creating sustainable ecosystems for digital payments and digital identities in Africa and around the world. The ESRB Privacy Certified program helps entertainment software companies implement global-best practices that enable them to operate across jurisdictions. Panelists will share the unifying thread among these disparate scenarios: the ability to define a set of protective international privacy and AI practices while enabling innovation.
What you will learn:
- Core foundations for building and maintaining a privacy program.
- How to navigate unique issues faced by global organizations.
- How to leverage existing privacy compliance apparatus to address AI developments.
