The Summit keynote stage hosted seven speakers and a panel discussion of public- and private-sector privacy experts. Authors Anu Bradford, Joy Buolamwini, Anna Funder, Kashmir Hill, Urs Gasser, Jeff Jarvis, and textile designer Rachele Didero. The authors explored global competition in technology regulation, the social and privacy implications of AI and surveillance, the future of digital governance, and technology’s role in society. Didero discussed developing facial recognition-defying fabric designs and how they support individual privacy.
The keynote panel included Australian Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind; Mastercard Chief Privacy and Data Responsibility Officer Caroline Louveaux, CIPP/E, CIPM; IBM Vice President, Chief Privacy and Trust Officer Christina Montgomery; U.S. Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, and moderator Caitlin Fennessy, CIPP/US, IAPP vice president and chief knowledge officer.
The privacy field is colliding with a host of policy domains as AI governance takes center stage, amidst amid a slate of digital policy regulations and intersections with competition, trade policy, and national security globally. Countries and companies are grappling with where to situate digital governance. Who will shape the future of our profession and what structure will it take?
Summit is also about building community and connections. Attendees connected through the IAPP Engagement Hub and networking events including industry meetups, the first-time attendee breakfast, peer-to-peer roundtables, welcome reception and Privacy Bash. More than 80 exhibitors demonstrated the latest solutions and services for privacy and artificial intelligence governance.
