Debbie Reynolds, “The Data Diva,” talks to Elizabeth Aguado, Emerging Technologies, Responsible AI Expert (South America). We discuss the impact of regulations and frameworks in South America and Latin America and the relevance of discussing underprivileged communities. Aguado raises important concerns about privacy and data protection in the global South, emphasizing the slow progress of authorities in implementing regulations and the high cost of privacy.

Additionally, she addressed the lack of attention on ethical questions related to emerging technologies and the general lack of concern about privacy among people in the global South, emphasizing the importance of igniting conversations and building awareness. We also discussed our joint effort on the Tech Ethics and Public Policy course at Stanford, where my presentation on biometrics was well-received.

We also discussed Chile's pioneering move to incorporate neural rights into its constitution, lauding its proactive efforts in regulating emerging technologies and promoting collaboration between public and private entities. We stress the importance of safeguarding individuals' rights over their data and information in the context of advancing neural technology, drawing comparisons between Chile's approach and that of other countries. The conversation also touches on the potential impact of emerging technologies on addressing global challenges such as poverty and healthcare, focusing on prioritizing human well-being over economic growth and her hope for Data Privacy in the future.
