There is more to “privacy by design” than process and policy. There’s also, well, design.

How do organizations develop user experiences and interfaces that communicate privacy and data protection choices and allow for consent management? Further, how can organizations increase user understanding?

To tackle some of data protection’s stickiest issues, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and partners are bringing together technologists, designers, policy experts, and regulators to participate in a Privacy Design Lab. Participants will create new solutions that address the technological, policy, and legal questions arising around privacy. The focus for this event will be privacy by design and consent management.

Special thanks to our local partners: Legal Hackers Brussels and DigitYser

We hope you can join us to create innovative solutions to dealing with consent management. Please register as a participant under one of our two categories based on your policy or technology expertise. Please contact Kara Sutton, [email protected] if you have any questions.

The 2017 Symposium, titled AI Ethics: The Privacy Challenge, will focus on developing ideas that address the ethical challenges associated with the new capabilities Artificial Intelligence technologies present for democratic institutions, human autonomy, and the social fabric of our society. This academic workshop will discuss ways to harness the power of AI and machine learning to better protect individuals’ privacy and security, helping consumers to navigate complex sociotechnical architectures in smart cities and homes, transportation systems, financial transactions, and content platforms. Papers are expected to address areas such as algorithmic due process and accountability, fairness and equity in automated decision making, societal implications of autonomous experimentation and leveraging AI to enhance privacy.
