If you feel like every day you wake up to a new data privacy law
or piece of guidance, you're not dreaming. Regulation and
rulemaking are happening faster than ever before. The complexities
relating to ethical data usage are profound, especially in the
emerging era of artificial intelligence (AI) and cyber-terrorism
concerns.
Data privacy no longer simply refers to keeping data about an
identifiable person secured. It extends to national security
issues, deep fake media unfairly endangering reputations, and
corporate databases broken wide open through misuse of biometric
data.
Being a compliance, ethics, risk, or data privacy officer is
challenging in this environment. So much has changed in the law,
and so much more is going to change in the upcoming year. Let's
look at where we are, emerging issues, what to do now, and our
predictions for 2024.
