Emerging Tech and the Privacy-Equity Dilemma

The event provides an outlook on the intersection of technology, privacy and equity. We will be hosting a discussion with an esteemed legislator and then enter into a moderated panel, where we discuss policy solutions on how to close the gaps across privacy and equity in a digital ecosystem. Solutions will focus on: federal privacy legislation, infrastructure funding, embedding DEI efforts into AI, and privacy by design.
