Can cryptocurrency ever be truly private while still complying with regulations?
Most privacy tools in crypto actually create more problems. Mixers co-mingle funds, identity is unclear, and verifying who you are transacting with becomes nearly impossible.
Explore how stealth addresses, human-readable names, and decentralized identity models could allow people to send money securely while still meeting compliance requirements like KYC and anti-money laundering regulations.
As AI agents and automated transactions begin to scale globally, the challenge of privacy vs transparency is becoming one of the most important questions in the future of digital finance.
This conversation explores whether a system can exist that protects user confidentiality while still enabling trust, compliance, and accountability.

8 min - How is Privacy Changing with Tania Palmariellodiviney and Punit Bhatia in the FIT4PRIVACY Podcast E159 S07
AI is transforming the world—but is it transforming privacy for better or for risk? We trust our GP with our deepest secrets, but can we extend that same trust to AI-powered systems and cloud-based suppliers? And if AI can re-identify people even in anonymized research data, is “anonymous” still real anymore?
In this episode, Punit Bhatia and Tania Palmariellodiviney reveals how AI tools reshape confidentiality, integrity, availability, cloud sprawl, supplier risk, clinical transcription accuracy, re-identification, and even personal fears like voice-based deepfakes. The voice of experience rings clear: digital trust isn’t a checkbox…it’s engineered early with transparency, responsible data use, privacy by design, and safety by design.

What are the biggest security risks when using AI in healthcare?
In this trailer, we explore why healthcare is both high risk and high reward when it comes to AI adoption.

Data leakage — where sensitive patient data may be exposed, reused, or improperly accessed
Integrity of AI outputs — where inaccurate or unreliable results can impact diagnosis and treatment decisions
With AI systems increasingly handling protected health information, the risks are real. Sensitive data can be exposed through breaches, misuse, or even model behavior if not properly controlled
You’ll also discover practical steps organizations can take:
Strengthen vendor controls and agreements
Understand evolving regulatory requirements across regions
Implement structured AI governance frameworks like ISO 42001
