Event recap | Coordinating data privacy and the public interest
GeoTech Cues

Event description
On this episode of the weekly GeoTech Hour, the GeoTech Center is returning to the third episode of the
Data Salon Series, hosted in partnership with Accenture. This episode focuses on data usage and employing data trusts to maximize individual privacy and private sector benefits.
The panelists discuss how governments and the private sector alike are working to develop strategies that emphasize individual privacy more than ever before, as the public continues to express greater interest in protecting their data. However, few institutions have landed upon successful solutions in practice that can protect user privacy while allowing for the high levels of analysis (including machine or AI-enabled learning) they have come to expect. As our digital landscape continues to evolve, it is time to consider what intentional policy and design choices could allow for greater data ownership within people-centered structures.
