Join Jefferson Humanists for our monthly program titled, Privacy in the AI Age presented by Ryan Burke.
Ryan Burke will help us learn how artificial intelligence brings new advances in privacy invasion and accelerates existing problems.
We will first establish a common definition of digital privacy, describe how AI is primarily used as a mechanism to compromise privacy, and then present simple personal actions you can take to raise your privacy posture.

"Can privacy law keep up with rapidly changing digital technologies, such as AI?
I argue that the law can do so, but it must stop putting the onus on individuals to manage their privacy. In the digital age, individuals can’t protect themselves and can’t control their data. Policymakers must stop treating technology differently from everything else. Instead, they must hold the creators and users of technology accountable." - Daniel Solove
“We are building AI law around what machines are allowed to say, when we should also be asking what they were allowed to consume.” - Lawrence Nault
