A Call to Action: Uniting Tech Innovators, Policy Leaders & Businesses to Safeguard Digital Privacy

A Call to Action: Uniting Tech Innovators, Policy Leaders & Businesses to Safeguard Digital Privacy 150 150 ieeeeduweek

The presentation discusses the challenges in achieving digital privacy and the important role of technologists and policymakers while encouraging engagement from individuals and businesses.

When talking about the complexity and the importance of digital privacy, there is currently a balancing act between privacy rights and technological advancements. As technologies in digital privacy, like encryption techniques, continue to evolve, it will be essential for policymakers, businesses, and individuals to work together ensuring that personal data is protected, and privacy rights are upheld in the digital age.  In building trust, collaboration among technologists, policymakers and businesses must effectively address digital privacy challenges and protect consumer rights.

To help bridge the digital privacy and communication gap between technologists and policymakers, as well as building trust among the public at large and businesses, this presentation will also include discussion on the IEEE Digital Privacy Model.  The model is intended not to provide a prescription and implementation of solutions but serves as a vehicle for productive discussion on covering the broad and dynamic aspects of digital privacy issues.
