 Dear Reader, As AI is becoming integrated into our everyday lives, concerns about data privacy and surveillance in both the private and public sectors are increasingly dominating headlines. Are you wondering if AI is a threat to your privacy (it is) and what you can do about it? We invite you to join us for a free webinar about the ways AI violates your privacy and steps you can take to reduce your exposure. We’ll also talk about the importance of collective action like government regulation and consumer pressure. Our tech editor, Eric Smalley, will lead an informative discussion on this topic with a group of experts on technology and data privacy. Together, they’ll share which tools you can use to shield your data, dos and don’ts when using AI, and ways to rein in big tech – to keep yourself, and your data, protected. Our guest speakers are: Guy Kawasaki, Adjunct Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the host of the Remarkable People podcast and the chief evangelist of Canva. The former chief evangelist of Apple, he helped popularize the Macintosh. He is the author, most recently of Everybody Has Something to Hide: Why and How to Use Signal to Preserve Your Privacy, Security, and Well-Being. He’s offering the book to our readers for free because of this webinar. If you’d like to read the book, please send an email to everybodyhassomethingtohide@gmail.com Anne Toomey McKenna, attorney, researcher and law professor working at the intersection of technology, privacy and law, and affiliate of Penn State’s Institute for Computational and Data Sciences. Professor McKenna sits on the advisory board and serves as the support chair of the AI policy committee for the world’s largest technical professional organization, the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and co-chairs IEEE’s Privacy, Equity, and Justice in AI subcommittee. Florian Schaub, University of Michigan computer scientist researching privacy, human-computer interaction, emerging technologies and public policy. Dr. Schaub is a distinguished member of the Association of Computer Machinery (ACM) and a DARPA Young Faculty Award recipient. His research has directly impacted industry practice and public policy, including the rule-making process for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
We look forward to seeing you for a discussion about this important topic on the 25th.
