Proactive AI privacy – Leveraging PETs throughout the AI lifecycle

Broadcast date: 9 Nov. 2026

Time: 08:00–09:00 PST, 11:00–12:00 EST, 16:00–17:00 CET

Privacy challenges exist at each stage in the artificial intelligence lifecycle. Collecting rich, quality training data at scale must be consistent with principles of user consent and data minimization; model memorization raises privacy risk at training time; membership inference attacks can create privacy problems during deployment. Agentic AI adds complexity as agents autonomously access systems and use tools across multiple sessions. Learn how privacy-enhancing technologies like differential privacy, federated learning, and synthetic data generation are implemented at each stage in the AI lifecycle to proactively address privacy risks and meet data processing goals. Practitioners on the front lines of PETs integration share strategies for effective deployment and performance evaluation. The session will also explore cutting-edge research and standardization efforts to address PETs limitations and lower barriers to use.

Key takeaways:

• Understand how PETs meet privacy and security challenges at each stage in the AI lifecycle.
• Gather insights on threat modeling, performance and utility tradeoffs, and build vs. buy decisions.
• Discover real-world AI use cases where PETs unlock data value and enable trustworthy user experiences.
