Amid rising concerns over data privacy and in the absence of comprehensive federal action, states and localities are leading multifaceted efforts to establish privacy plans of their own. Privacy initiatives focus on how the public’s data is collected, used and stored, and in an increasingly digital world, government leaders are prioritizing the protection of their residents’ personal information.
While several states have implemented robust privacy programs, the patchwork of state laws is a growing concern and could cause compliance headaches. How can agencies work to address those compliance and financial risks while keeping their residents safe? And as more state and local governments harness emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, how are they protecting data when using it to train AI systems?
Join us for the fourth episode of Route Fifty’s Innovation Spotlight series as we explore forward-thinking privacy initiatives in state and local government. Attendees will walk away from this event with a better understanding of:
- How states are implementing their own data privacy laws.
- The best privacy-focused practices states and localities are adopting to build public trust.
- The evolution of state privacy programs, and what might happen next.
