Are you a director who's unsure exactly what AI governance is and how to go about implementing it in your organisation? 🤖 Then you might be interested in the "Governing AI Forum" that the Institute of Directors in New Zealand is running in late July. I'll be presenting on what a Responsible AI framework is, why it's important and the Board's role when it comes to AI governance. 🔖 This article provides a taster of some of the issues I'll be covering. 💡 Other topics to be covered include the board's role when it comes to IP (Jenni Rutter), applying a Te Tiriti and NZ lens over AI (Dr Karaitiana Taiuru JP, MInstD) and community trust in AI (Adelle Keely). Plus there will be various panels and opportunities for discussion and information sharing. #responsibleAI #aigovernance #boards #directors Simply Privacy Ltd Daimhin Warner Emma Pond Strand Alliance Kirsten (KP) Patterson

#PanettaTechNews Rocco Panetta, Italy's Country Leader of IAPP - International Association of Privacy Professionals, will be joining the #IAPP Leadership Day in Portsmouth (US). This is an exclusive event where all IAPP leaders meet to discuss the challenges of the privacy community.

What a retreat, this IAPP - International Association of Privacy Professionals Leadership Retreat 2024! This is not the first time that I have been honored with this invitation, but this year the IAPP Leadership Retreat edition 2024 was truly superb. A number of panels and interactive discussions kept us busy for two whole days, between the lobster bake and a jazz concert. But above all we dialogued with truly leaders and great minds such as Lawrence Lessig, Daniel Susskind , Kate Jones , Kalinda Raina , Lara Liss , Nubiaa Shabaka , Philippe Dufresne , Travis LeBlanc , Nuala O'Connor , Julie Brill , Caitlin Fennessy , Tom Zick, PhD. , Jenn Louie , Maitreya Shah , Mehtab Khan , Janine McKelvey and many others. A great thanks to J. Trevor Hughes and all the amazing IAPP - International Association of Privacy Professionals staff. Apart from that, it is always a great opportunity to catch up with old and new friends here in Portsmouth NH and above all with my best friends and Strand Alliance partners Kate Colleary and Dan Or-Hof and with many others friends and colleagues such as Ruby Zefo , Patrice Ettinger , Justin B. Weiss , Peter Lefkowitz , Simon McDougall , Susan Hintze , Jeroen Terstegge , Elizabeth Denham CBE , Monika Tomczak-Gorlikowska , Stephen Reynolds , Stanley Crosley , Stephen Bolinger , Anna Gamvros , Aruna Sharma , William Malcolm and many others.

“Molto rumore per nulla”, “Much ado about nothing” titolava una celebre piece teatrale di William Shakespeare - ancor più celebre la riduzione cinematografica con regia di Kenneth Branagh del 1993, un film che potrei definire per me generazionale. Ebbene, molto rumore per nulla e’ il sottotitolo della c.d. vicenda “metadati” scaturita da un importante provvedimento dell’Autorità Garante per la protezione dei dati personali tanto mal interpretato, quanto non propriamente scritto con cristallina chiarezza. Il provvedimento ha suscitato un sollevamento di critiche sul web e sui giornali che ha indotto l’Autorita a fornire una interpretazione autentica del testo, anche a valle di una consultazione pubblica. Il risultato? E’ stato scritto meglio e con minore rischio di fraintendimenti quel che già c’era scritto e, sopratutto, quel che non avrebbe non potuto affermare un’Autorita da sempre prudente e misurata. Chi conosce la logica della disciplina sui dati non trova sorprese o novità in questo testo, ma bene e’ stato fare chiarezza! #dati #privacy #gdpr #statutolavoratori #metadati PANETTA Strand Alliance
