Recent developments in #artificialintelligence have sparked an outcry for control over personal data. While regulators, politicians, and the business community have been thinking about how to improve #dataprivacy, there is still much more work to do. Kate Parker, Transcend's COO, will discuss the progress in #datagovernance, how companies can adopt and build secure AI services, and why it is critical to give power back to the user.

Questions around data and privacy will only become more important and complex as AI evolves. Since 2017, Transcend’s privacy platform has been used by major enterprises like Robinhood and Patreon to answer questions about their data: What data do we have? Where is it going? Who has access to it? With user demand for control rising, it isn’t just about ticking a compliance box—it’s the key to a company’s survival in the future.

“Personal data within most companies goes off like a confetti gun. It gets into every SaaS system, every data warehouse. You have to pull the confetti back together and hand it back to the user. ” – Kate Parker

Efforts in Europe, such as #GDPR and the #AIAct, along with California’s #CCPA, represent tangible steps toward putting guardrails in place. On this episode of Spotlight On: AI, Kate Parker, and Vas Natarajan will discuss the latest in data governance, and share how to enhance your company’s privacy posture to keep user data safe in our AI-driven world.
