🤷♂️ What’s Going On and Why It Matters:
Got your notebook ready?
We all just got schooled.
Here’s the real talk y’all. GenAI tools have a lot of shiny bells and loud whistles. They can do amazing things.
But.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut. What about all that data? Are we giving generative AI tools too much data? What happens to it all? Is it safe?
(Yeah, we had all those questions, too).
Luckily, we had an AI data and governance expert in Katharina Koerner to guide us through it all. And she delivered.
We tackled everything from AI governance and data, to globally accepted privacy principles and AI systems.
Still looking for more on AI and privacy?
We got you.
Let’s get it. 👇
🦾How You Can Leverage:
Alright. So, there’s a lot of gray area around AI data, privacy, and regulation. And it all varies from country to country, as Katharina explained.
Let’s try and make use of it all, and give it the ol’ Everyday AI 1-2-3 rundown on how we can leverage what we learned.
1 – Embrace Transparency 🧐
If you’re a service provider, be open about what data you collect, why you collect it, and how you use it. If you’re a consumer of AI products, pay attention to those three things.
AI governance starts with transparency. Just like knowing the ingredients in a recipe, people appreciate knowing what they're getting into.
Try this:
Great timing — but ChatGPT for Enterprise was just released. This is a great way to have better control of your data. And OpenAI is fairly transparent about how this new enterprise version handles your data and the type of encryption it uses.
2 – Learn from the experts 🧑🏫️
“Not everything you read on the internet is true” — Actual quote from Abe Lincoln.
😂
Here’s a beef we’ve got: professionals are taking AI advice from Internet randos. Not a good idea. When learning about AI and privacy, seek out actual experts in the field. That’s why we brought Katharina on the show, after all.
Try this:
Katharina has published some in-depth research on everything in AI governance and policy, from homomorphic encryption and data minimization in AI to worldwide AI regulations and privacy in tech.
Check out her whole collection of work here.
3 – Dive deeper on AI governance 🤿
