CHAIR’S OPENING REMARKS AND KEYNOTE: Adopting PETs: Questions and Considerations for Privacy Tech Implementers

PETs represent one link in the data release chain. This talk will consider some key questions organizations should ask before deploying PETs as part of their data work flow.  Examples from NIST's Collaborative Research Cycle will demonstrate the tension between data utility, fidelity, and privacy of synthetic data releases with specific regard to the difficulty in modeling diverse subpopulations.

KEYNOTE: Cross-Border Collaboration Challenges and Solutions: A Multijurisdictional and Multinational Perspectives

Our access to data and our ability to process it, including with AI, are growing by the week. But at the same time, there is increasing concern about personal data - both from regulators (new laws are rapidly coming up in various countries) and from people - a strong cultural shift in society. How can organizations - particularly those that work in or with multiple countries - deal with the challenge of these conflicting dynamics, and turn it into an opportunity?

PANEL: How PETs Enhance Data Governance and Accountability, Helping Achieve Business Success

This session will detail best practices and considerations when developing, procuring, and deploying Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs). Proper governance, accountability mechanisms, and vendor management are all key to the responsible adoption of PETs, yet few companies have experience developing robust procedures for managing an inventory of PETs. The FTC has already opined in a blog about potential future enforcement actions where companies could mismanage PETs, particularly concerning multi-party computations. We hope to provide an in-depth discussion of PETs governance to spur the thoughtful adoption of in-house and third-party accountability procedures so that companies understand how to leverage these nascent technologies without risking further regulatory scrutiny.
