Move over, Big Data. The rise of artificial intelligence is now the leading issue pushing forward novel lines of legal reasoning in privacy and intellectual property law. On a fundamental level, both privacy and intellectual property share the same realm of concern: information – what it is, who can own it, and what the law can and should allow individuals, businesses, and governments to do with it. If AI “creates” intellectual property, who should be able to own it? Can private information used to train machine learning models be retroactively de-identified? What implications does the concept of sentient artificial intelligence have on how we understand information and laws that govern it? This luncheon presentation will explore the privacy and intellectual property law issues relating to artificial intelligence, both now and in the future. Science fiction fans welcome.

41st OECD SPDE Meeting @ Paris
May 15 – May 16 all-day
41st OECD SPDE Meeting @ Paris | Paris | Île-de-France | France

The SPDE develops public policy analysis and high level recommendations to help governments and other stakeholders ensure that digital security and privacy protection foster the development of the digital economy.

It gathers policy experts from OECD member and partner governments as well as business, civil society and the Internet technical community to share experience on better approaches to security and privacy in an open and globally interconnected environment. The SPDE reports to the Committee on Digital Economy Policy (CDEP) which itself reports to the OECD Council.

The SPDE:

  • Addresses information security and privacy as complementary issues that are essential for the sustainability of the Internet economy as a platform for economic and social prosperity.
  • Is a platform where policy makers monitor trends, share experience, and analyse the impact of technology on information security and privacy policy making.
  • Develops and monitors the implementation of several non-binding legal instruments (soft law) adopted by the OECD Council by consensus.
  • Maintains an active network of experts from government, business, civil society and the Internet technical community.

The work of the SPDE:

  • Serves as a foundation for developing national co-ordinated policies.
  • Is balanced and pragmatic, respects cultural, legal and social differences.
  • Benefits the broader international community through OECD’s co-operation with non-members and other international and regional organisations (such as Council of Europe and APEC).
  • Supports OECD’s core values

The SPDE is supported by the OECD Secretariat within the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry. It meets twice a year in Paris and organises workshops and conferences.

SPDE delegates come from various government bodies with an interest in the economic and social aspects of information security and privacy. Non-governmental stakeholders participate actively in the dialogue through the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC), the Civil Society Information Society Advisory Council (CSISAC) and the Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC). The WPISP has also established relationships with other international and regional organisations such as Council of Europe, Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC TEL and APEC ECSG), ENISA, the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners, and the Global Privacy Enforcement Network (GPEN).

Privacy Hackathon @ New York
May 16 all-day
Privacy Hackathon @ New York | New York | New York | United States

Privacy.hack: NAI’s first ever hackathon for digital advertising privacy!

NAI’s first ever hackathon for online advertising privacy! Teams will propose innovative privacy solutions to improve notice and choice options for consumers through developments in education, user experience, improved privacy features, and enhanced accessibility.

WHO:

All NAI members are eligible to participate as hackers. Judges may include industry representatives, NAI staff, and celebrity technologists.

WHEN:

Privacy.hack will take place during the month of the 2017 NAI Summit, beginning May 3rd and ending May 16th. The NAI knows that some projects, such as developing a policy or research, take more time than other projects, such as designing an icon. This timeline is designed to give hackers more time for their work.

On May 16th, the NAI will host a day-long, in-person hackathon with reserved space, so that participants can build, code, design, and research their way to the finish line. Projects are due promptly at 5pm on May 16th.

  • TBD: Happy Hours in NY and SF to meet and greet other participants
  • May 3rd: Hackathon begins.
  • May 3rd – May 15th: Remote hackathon
  • May 16th: Day-long, in-person hackathon, presentation of hacks, award ceremony

WHY:

The nature of today’s digital advertising ecosystem has ushered in new possibilities for advertisers and media companies, but it also raises privacy concerns for consumers. Privacy.hack invites participants to propose creative privacy ideas or solutions from a variety of fields: technology, policy, and legal.

GUIDELINES:

The NAI encourages the creation of cross-company teams between NAI members. This is an industry effort to create innovative privacy solutions that benefit everyone. All work must occur during the hackathon dates, but participants are encouraged to create teams, meet people, and brainstorm ideas ahead of time. Recommended team size is four or less so that prizes can be split evenly. Official team registration information will be shared shortly. There is no cost associated with participating in the hackathon.

To facilitate Privacy.hack, NAI has created a Hackpad – an online collaborative document. Users can see sample ideas suggested by the NAI staff and new ideas as they are formed. Users are free to build on existing code and projects, but teams will only be judged on the work completed during the hackathon days. Teams are required to document their code writing process during the hackathon duration.

The NAI and the hackathon judges will not retain any intellectual property rights to the materials created during the hackathon. There is no need to be open source, but judges will need access to any source code created for the hackathon. Participants should not use any proprietary code.

Submissions can come from lawyers, product teams, or developers. Privacy.hack judges will be able to properly evaluate the benefit, effort, and genius of each submission regardless of its category.

PRIZES:

Prizes will be awarded in at least two categories:

Top Privacy Notice: Most beneficial to the education and notice of consumers. This award recognizes an innovation in communicating privacy to the average person.

Top Privacy Choice: Most beneficial to the consumer’s ability to exercise choice. This award recognizes an innovation in offering privacy choices to the average person.

Privacy.hack will recognize the top team in each category with terrific prizes. Each team will be eligible to win in one award category, with prizes for up to four people on a team.

Members of the top teams will be invited to participate in a panel discussion about their hack and related issues, or give a presentation about their winning hack.

Every hackathon participant will be able to attend the NAI Summit on May 17, 2017 at a significant discount. Please contact William Lee ([email protected]) for more information.

As a privacy hackathon, Privacy.hack is an opportunity for companies to showcase their commitment to consumer privacy. The NAI will proudly tweet, blog, and showcase the works of participants and NAI member companies.
