🔎 'In her 16 years working in Europe as a human-rights lawyer and privacy advocate, Carly Kind developed some strong views about how the use — and misuse — of personal data could affect societies. Now back in Australia as the country’s top privacy official, Kind is ready to put her knowledge, and insight, to good use. Her goal is to raise awareness of privacy issues with an at times apathetic public, all while leading the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner towards more assertive enforcement of the country’s still-evolving privacy laws. And artificial-intelligence proponents urging regulators to suspend privacy rules in the name of the god of innovation are likely to find her a formidable foe.' 🔓 Read Ryan Cropp's newly ungated exclusive interview now ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e5UP_Sh8
