Privacy Pros Podcast

"You've got to give some recommendations. You just can't say here's all the bad stuff, you figure it out. No, you need to provide a roadmap and guidelines. And what I wanted to do is allow customers to connect the dots between the issues that we are facing from society when we have this significant overcollection of data, the increasing ways that AI is being used, and how it can introduce bias or even be exploited with dark patterns and deep fakes. Things that your listeners care a lot about.”

Brace yourself for a thought-provoking episode with Tom Kemp, Silicon Valley-based policy advisor and the author of "Containing Big Tech: How to Protect Our Civil Rights, Economy, and Democracy."

In this episode, we discuss:

• Tom’s involvement with the California Privacy Rights and his experience co-authoring the California Delete Act of 2023
• Benefits and threats to look out for with the rise of Big Tech
• Actionable solutions to curtail surveillance and tech monopolies
• How privacy can be a selling point for any organisation 
• How Privacy Pros can lead the charge to preserve privacy rights

Can Age Appropriate Design Drive Business Success?

Brace yourself for an eye-opening episode as Jamal Ahmed and Jeffrey Kluge dive deep into the thought-provoking world of children's privacy and its ethical implications, exploring how age-appropriate design can drive business success.

Uncover:

• The vital role of the age-appropriate design code in safeguarding children's privacy
• The imminent wave of stringent penalties and regulations concerning children's privacy
• The influence of AI on children's privacy and the unique challenges it poses
• Why privacy professionals must prioritise children's privacy and ethics as the next big frontier

This is a must listen episode for Privacy Pros who want to stay ahead of the curve!

Jeff Kluge, a distinguished Fellow of ForHumanity and a certified auditor in Foundations of Independent Audit of AI Systems (IAAIS), Ethical Choice, the Children’s Code, and more, plays a crucial role within the priority drafting team.

Through an engineering-driven methodology that utilises business language, he effectively translates the legal principles of Age-Appropriate Design Codes into actionable criteria, enabling teams to ensure not only compliance but also the creation of robust and morally superior products.

Jeff’s expertise and findings affirm the notion that adopting methodologies like Age-Appropriate Design Codes can prompt businesses to develop customer-focused products that inspire enthusiasm and purpose. This contrasts with prevailing systems driven by fear, anger, and anxiety solely for the purpose of maintaining user engagement. His firm’s product offering facilitates the creation and updating of the Impact Assessments and Age-Assurance solutions for all those looking to innovate in children’s technology, ethically.
