“the ultimate goal behind enabling data collaboration between researchers and providers is to offer better treatment options to people who have historically been marginalized within healthcare.” – Kurt Rohloff, CTO & Co-founder, Duality Technologies

World leading cryptographers and entrepreneurs Yuriy Polyakov & Kurt Rohloff discuss current statue, recent breakthroughs, and the future of lattice-based cryptography. As interviewer Professor BIll Buchananan summarized ”

Researchers, drug delivery orgs, pharmaceuticals, etc all need patient data to more accurately and quickly improve patient outcomes. The problem? Manual data privacy and protection checkpoints that slow down and limit how much data these teams can access. The solution is found in workflows that utilize privacy enhancing technologies (PETs), which streamline data operations and unlock data acquisition options by satisfying compliance requirements by default.

At the end of the day, AI models are only as good as the data they’re trained on, and the main blocker to data access is privacy and security. Not only do investors have to be mindful of this when they’re looking at this space, but also the teams building AI applications must ensure that they are proactively solving the problem of data access and analysis by using technology.

Elizabeth Puchek, the Chief Data Officer at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, speaks with Michael Hughes, Chief Business Officer at Duality Technologies, in a video interview about the importance of governance in immigration data, the process to ensure governance, the role of the CDO office, and the need for data cataloging.

In episode 182 of “The Data Diva” Talks Privacy Podcast, Debbie Reynolds talks to Derek Wood Senior Director of Product Marketing at Duality Technologies. We discuss the challenges of data privacy and the balance between using data for business purposes while respecting individuals’ rights. We stress the importance of managing data in a way that doesn’t hinder business operations but also upholds privacy standards. We explore the evolving landscape of privacy and security, emphasizing the regulatory push for privacy-enhancing technology and the convergence of privacy, security, and governance within organizations. The conversation also focused on developing a workflow that addresses these challenges, providing a solution that allows effective protection of both the model and input data, presenting a significant opportunity for growth in the current landscape. We discuss the potential risks associated with Generative AI and voice spoofing. We emphasize the need for increased awareness and potential solutions to address the risks posed by generative AI and voice spoofing. Additionally, we explore the complexities of tracking data from its origin to various copies and usages, highlighting the difficulties in maintaining documented data lineage. The conversation underscored the need for organizations to adopt privacy-enhancing technologies to ensure data transparency and security. We discuss the shifting landscape of data sharing, its implications for third-party relationships, and the challenges third-party companies face in meeting increasingly stringent data security requirements, which can potentially hinder their ability to collaborate with first-party data companies. The discussion emphasizes the need for innovative solutions to alleviate risk for both parties and facilitate smoother data-sharing processes. Additionally, we underscore the role of technology solutions in enabling efficient and secure data management to meet the demands of the evolving business environment and his hope for Data Privacy in the future.

Up to this point, the market at large has been relatively slow to adopt privacy-preserving technologies, which allow sensitive data to be used for analytics or AI without sacrificing privacy. Hughes expects that to change soon in light of several developments, including a potential new US law dubbed the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) and President Biden’s October 30 executive order on AI. The White House OST has issued other directives too, including the March 2023 report on the importance of privacy-preserving tech.

The potential release of GPT-5 by OpenAI could mark a pivotal moment in the development of AI technologies, or it could just be another minor upgrade. With expectations of major advancements, experts across various sectors are evaluating how this next-generation model could impact industries from healthcare to finance.

What if your anti-financial crime program could build investigation models using sensitive data you may not have direct access to – in a totally compliant way? In this episode, we learn from Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) expert, , Chief Business Offer at , about the potential PETs have to change the game of KYC. Follow along as Michael and host, Alex Pillow, discuss all things PETs, exploring topics like: The value PETs could bring to the world of AFC Privacy rights of an individual vs. useful data for institutions Various PET use cases How regulatory bodies feel about the rise of PETs Industry sectors that have become early adopters of PETs (the answer may surprise you)
