The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies—and their reliance on publicly available data—has reinforced the need for tech developers and the companies using their solutions to ensure privacy by design and by default is at the crux of any offering.
The concept is recognized by data protection authorities (DPAs) as best practice and as an explicit requirement under Article 25 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
European DPAs have issued guidance about the need to consider privacy from the outset of any tech development to not only protect users but also the firms using bespoke technologies from violating laws like the GDPR.
