SDGs
4. Quality Education
9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
10. Reduced Inequalities
16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Targets: Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities - By addressing issues such as "privacy poverty," my presentation will emphasise the importance of equitable access to digital services for all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status. This directly supports efforts to reduce inequalities in society. Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions - Ensuring robust data governance and transparency in how personal information is handled contributes to more effective institutions. Promoting privacy as a fundamental right supports justice and empowers citizens to navigate digital spaces safely. Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure - By advocating for updated privacy frameworks that support innovation while protecting individuals, my talk encourages responsible technological development and sustainable industrial practices. Goal 4: Quality Education - The emphasis on citizens' right to access services relates to education and information, promoting digital literacy to ensure everyone can engage with and benefit from technology.

Description
Privacy in the age of AI: the handling of citizens' personal information is essential not only within the broader context of global trade but also for service delivery. Therefore, our discussions around privacy must extend beyond merely protecting personal data; we must prioritise the services that citizens should have the right to access. This requires updating our existing privacy frameworks to ensure they evolve in tandem with the digital landscape.
This evolution does not imply a dilution of privacy principles—in fact, it's quite the opposite. We must: a) view data as a public asset, transitioning from a protectionist mindset to one of sharing, unless there are compelling reasons to withhold it; b) pair this shift with a robust accountability framework for organizations, moving away from a purely consent-based model that places the burden of safety on individuals; and c) rethink privacy in terms of equality, safeguarding society against the risks of "privacy poverty," where only the affluent can access adequate privacy protections. Our emphasis must shift toward promoting autonomy and human agency.
Given the global implications of AI and technology, this keynote aims to inspire new policies that facilitate meaningful access to digital services for all.
If possible, I would like 5 minutes of provocations and questions coming from the public.
