WPF presenting at OECD & Global Privacy Assembly workshop on the data governance and privacy implications of the COVID-19 pandemic

One Year Later: Addressing the Data Governance and Privacy Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Road to Recovery

Meeting hosts: OECD Working Party on Data Governance and Privacy in the Digital Economy & Global Privacy Assembly

WPF Executive Director Pam Dixon will be presenting an intervention on behalf of CSISAC, which is the OECD Civil Society Advisory Committee. The intervention will discuss data flow changes resulting from the pandemic, as well as the importance of expanding the roles of National Statistical Organizations (NSOs) and the importance of working on building standards in privacy.

From OECD and GPA:

More than one year since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments continue to take drastic measures to curb the spread of the virus. The use of data, and in some cases personal data, have been central to some of these measures, but have raised a number of privacy and data governance concerns. As a result of the pandemic unprecedented volumes of personal data have been collected, processed, stored and shared, and as governments plan their next steps moving forward with vaccination programmes and plans for the road to recovery, it is crucial that they reflect on some of the lessons learned.

21 June 2021, Paris, France & Virtual

This event is by invitation only.

New Report: Risky Analysis: Assessing and Improving AI Governance Tools

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new WPF report, “Risky Analysis: Assessing and Improving AI Governance Tools.” This report sets out a definition of AI governance tools, documents why and how these tools are critically important for trustworthy AI, and where these tools are around the world. The report also documents problems in some AI governance tools themselves, and suggests pathways to improve AI governance tools and create an evaluative environment to measure their effectiveness. AI systems should not be deployed without simultaneously evaluating the potential adverse impacts of such systems and mitigating their risks, and most of the world agrees about the need to take precautions against the threats posed. The specific tools and techniques that exist to evaluate and measure AI systems for their inclusiveness, fairness, explainability, privacy, safety and other trustworthiness issues — called in the report collectively AI governance tools – can improve such issues. While some AI governance tools provide reassurance to the public and to regulators, the tools too often lack meaningful oversight and quality assessments. Incomplete or ineffective AI governance tools can create a false sense of confidence, cause unintended problems, and generally undermine the promise of AI systems. The report contains rich background details, use cases, potential solutions to the problems discussed in the report, and a global index of AI Governance Tools.

Report: From the Filing Cabinet to the Cloud: Updating the Privacy Act of 1974

This comprehensive report and proposed bill text is focused on the Privacy Act of 1974, an important and early Federal privacy law that applies to the government sector and some contractors. The Privacy Act was written for the 1970s information era -- an era that was characterized by the use of mainframe computers and filing cabinets. Today's digital information era looks much different than the '70s: smart phones are smarter than the old mainframes, and documents are now routinely digitized and stored and perhaps even analyzed in the cloud, among many other changes. The report focuses on why the Privacy Act needs an update that will bring it into this century, and how that could look and work. This work was written by Robert Gellman, and informed by a two-year multi-stakeholder process.
