A Thoughtful Discussion of Privacy Issues Raised by AI and Machine Learning
Recently, the Future of Privacy Forum and the Brookings Institution held a discussion session bringing together Hill staff, industry representatives and civil society groups. The conversation was guided by Cam Kerry of Brookings and Brenda Leong and John Verdi from FPF. Topics included whether AI and machine learning issues should be covered in a comprehensive privacy bill, whether privacy is the right lens to capture AI issues, whether AI raises any really unique privacy issues, and what specific concerns are created by automated decision making.
