6 yrs since #GDPR in full effect. Broad US privacy bill mired in Congress & we still "face unprecedented challenges to protecting information privacy" per @TheOfficialACM's new TechBrief #11 by @drmaltman, @aloni_bologna, and Kobbi Nissim. Check it now! dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

Don't trust AI? You're not alone, says ACM's latest TechBrief: "Trusted AI." Such trust is vital, but engineers and proposed regs may be on the wrong track to building and gauging it. What to do? Read the Brief, of course! dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

ACM's global Technology Policy Council, @EuropeTPC, and @USTPC again proudly champion 2023 @DataPrivacyWeek and @DataPrivacyDay. For 25+ years ACM has forged benchmark #privacy principles (tinyurl.com/tsxmyty) to help all @StaySafeOnline (bit.ly/2U0AIp7). #StaySafe

"Perfectly safe #algorithm[ic] systems are not possible [but] safer systems are" and must be shaped by policymakers worldwide now, says @USTPC's Ben Shneiderman (@benbendc) in the latest ACM TechBrief, out today. Find the Brief and more at bit.ly/safersystems #AI #policy

Much better to get it right from the beginning, says @USTPC’s #AI & #Algorithms Subcommittee Chair @Jeanna_Matthews in this new @InformationWeek piece on emerging bit.ly/TekEthics, also with a great shout out to our Nov. '22 bit.ly/ACMAIPrinciples. #AIethics @bakercom1
