Explainability by Design: Shaping the Future of AI Accountability and Digital Agency | Privacy Engineering & Technology Education Discussion (PETed) Recording

In this PETed, Shoshana Rosenberg advocates for the establishment and recognition of digital agency and understanding as a fundamental human right, serving as a reinforcement and guiding principle for the evolving legal frameworks working to keep pace with technological innovation. This right bridges the gaps between requirements around transparency and around mere transparency and the requisite layers of explainability, ensuring AI systems provide meaningful and accessible explanations of their decision-making processes.

Data Access and Deletion in the Large Scale Structured and Unstructured Datasets | Privacy Engineering & Technology Education Discussion (PETed) Recording

Privacy technologists struggle to efficiently handle large-scale requests for data access and deletion due to challenges in mapping data across systems, avoiding production disruptions, and redacting unrelated information from unstructured data. This requires scalable solutions to ensure regulatory compliance and protect data rights without compromising system performance.

From Permission Usage to Compliance Analysis | Privacy Engineering & Technology Education Discussion (PETed) Recording

We have been analyzing Android apps for regulatory requirements for eight years. We have analyzed Android apps for COPPA, CCPA, and Health Compliance (HIPAA, HBNR, and FTC Act). In this talk, Primal Wijesekera presents the lessons learned after analyzing thousands of apps, the technical challenges we face while analyzing Android apps, patterns of non-compliance issues we uncovered, and the likely root causes of non-compliance.

Deploying Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Contact Tracing | Privacy Engineering & Technology Education Discussion (PETed) Recording

Digital contact tracing systems promised to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic; but in doing so introduce privacy risks. Privacy-friendly contact tracing systems enable notification of exposed people without privacy harms. In this webinar Wouter Lueks will talk about his experience designing a large-scale privacy-friendly digital contact tracing system that later led to the system adopted by Google and Apple, and experiences deploying such a privacy-friendly system in the wild.

Assurance Cases | Privacy Engineering & Technology Education Discussion (PETed) Recording

Assurance cases are gaining traction as a means of certification in Aerospace and other safety and security critical industries. However, these assurance cases can become overwhelming and complicated, even for moderately complex systems. Therefore, there is a compelling requirement to develop new automation that can aid in creating and assessing assurance cases.
