    Enabling Cross-Border and Cross-Silo Data Sharing and Collaboration

    Whether it is internal or external, data sharing vastly improves efficiency and creates opportunity. Despite this, information is often isolated and siloed with limited access to protect it from compromise.

    • Assessing data collaboration and partnership opportunities enabled by PETs
    • Increasing internal and external data collaboration
    • Lessons learned and how they could have been prevented
    • Opening data and powering AI without sacrificing confidentiality and privacy

    Navigating the Global Regulatory Landscape and Utilising PETs to Support Multi-Jurisdictional Compliance

    The regulatory framework around privacy is fractured across APAC and the globe. With the US and Europe driving PETs adoption forward, can PETs be key to compliance across different jurisdictions and success for multinationals working across borders?

    • Can PETs really help comply with differing data and privacy laws globally?
    • Determining which regulators are leading the way and supporting PETs adoption globally
    • The need for standards
    • Are different regulatory approaches to privacy impacting adoption?

    Choosing the Right PET for the Challenge

    With a multitude of PETs in existence, it’s crucial to be clear on which PETs solve which issues, and which are most relevant to your business challenges. So, which PET is right for you?

    • Understanding the differences between different PET solutions
    • Determining potential use cases and the appropriate PET or PETs
    • Does one PET fit all or are many required?

    International Perspectives on PETs: Lowering Barriers to Adoption

    Emerging PETs have the potential to unlock data-driven innovation across sectors, but there remain barriers to their adoption including a lack of awareness, understanding, and expertise of these technologies and how to embed them in good organisational practice.

    In the session we will showcase international perspectives on PETs, by discussing their implications for policy and regulation; the technical, organisational and cultural changes that may be required to enable their effective adoption; and the role of governments and public-private partnerships in this space. We will also explore how governments are leveraging PETs in practice, through new international initiatives, and policy and regulatory efforts.

    The Royal Society

    Dr. June Brawner is a policy advisor at The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences. She leads the Society’s work on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) within the Data and AI policy team, which is developing policy and promoting debate that helps the UK safely and rapidly realise the growing benefits of data science and digital technologies.

    June’s career in academic and policy research spans the US, UK, and Central / Eastern Europe, with a focus on environmental data for policymaking.  Prior to her current role she worked as a research consultant and has previously completed fellowships with the Fulbright Commission and Columbia University’s Council for European Studies.

    As an anthropologist, June is especially interested in the ‘social life’ of data: the cultural and political factors that hinder or promote the equitable use of data for research, innovation, and decision-making. To this end, she sees upholding the right to privacy as a key technical and social challenge in using data for societal benefit.

    The Royal Society

    Dr. June Brawner is a policy advisor at The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences. She leads the Society’s work on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) within the Data and AI policy team, which is developing policy and promoting debate that helps the UK safely and rapidly realise the growing benefits of data science and digital technologies.

    June’s career in academic and policy research spans the US, UK, and Central / Eastern Europe, with a focus on environmental data for policymaking.  Prior to her current role she worked as a research consultant and has previously completed fellowships with the Fulbright Commission and Columbia University’s Council for European Studies.

    As an anthropologist, June is especially interested in the ‘social life’ of data: the cultural and political factors that hinder or promote the equitable use of data for research, innovation, and decision-making. To this end, she sees upholding the right to privacy as a key technical and social challenge in using data for societal benefit.
