CIPS IFIP 60th Event Speakers Panel: Data Privacy and Digital Governance

November 1, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am UTC-5

Free
Join us on Monday November 1st at 9am ET for the CIPS IFIP 60th Event Speakers Panel discussion on Data Privacy and Digital Governance!
 
As of 2020 3.8 billion people use the internet for about 6 hrs and 43 mins a day and 74% say that are not aware that their activities and interests are being tracked. 78% also say that they are uncomfortable with lists being generated about them. As technology advances and legislation changes there is increasing need for better and more accessible information on data privacy and digital platform governance.
 
Responsible Artificial Intelligence Institute (RAII), Better Ethics and Consumer Outcomes Network (BEACON), The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), the International Professional Practice Partnership (IP3) and the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) have come together to discuss these concerns.
 
Each Organization will briefly describe their role and their perspective on the challenge and discuss what they are doing to help advance ethical professional practice.
 
The Speakers Panel includes:
