Containing Big Tech: Strategies And Tools For Privacy Pros To Lead The Charge

Privacy Pros Podcast

"You've got to give some recommendations. You just can't say here's all the bad stuff, you figure it out. No, you need to provide a roadmap and guidelines. And what I wanted to do is allow customers to connect the dots between the issues that we are facing from society when we have this significant overcollection of data, the increasing ways that AI is being used, and how it can introduce bias or even be exploited with dark patterns and deep fakes. Things that your listeners care a lot about.”

Brace yourself for a thought-provoking episode with Tom Kemp, Silicon Valley-based policy advisor and the author of "Containing Big Tech: How to Protect Our Civil Rights, Economy, and Democracy."

In this episode, we discuss:

• Benefits and threats to look out for with the rise of Big Tech
• Actionable solutions to curtail surveillance and tech monopolies
• How privacy can be a selling point for any organisation
• How Privacy Pros can lead the charge to preserve privacy rights
