It may be the last day of Privacy Awareness Week (PAW), but let’s ‘power up’ privacy all year round. This week, we’ve focused on privacy and technology. Developments in technology, such as connected cars, AI and facial recognition technology, require all of us to more actively think about privacy. Technology isn’t just part of the problem, it’s also part of the solution. There are clear steps you can take to power up privacy, including around the key principles of transparency, accountability and security: paw.gov.au Get in early and sign up as a supporter for PAW 2025: https://lnkd.in/gTPnVKfa #PAW2024 #PrivacyAwarenessWeek #PowerUpYourPrivacy

Four of Australia’s privacy and data protection commissioners joined together on Wednesday for a special online event convened by the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner for Privacy Awareness Week 2024. The commissioners discussed a range of very topical issues around this year’s theme of privacy and technology and the key principles of transparency, accountability and security. Commissioners from the Commonwealth, Victorian, Queensland and NSW jurisdictions, Carly Kind, Rachel Dixon, Paxton Booth and Sonia Minutillo were joined by moderator Samantha Floreani from Digital Rights Watch in a discussion covering AI and large language models, data breaches and the future. Commissioner Kind reflected on how positive it is to see so many people getting into the detail of questions around privacy and technology, noting the ‘huge amount of interest in the space’. ‘I think we are seeing more and more that organisations are not only considering compliance as necessary but understanding that privacy can be good for businesses and good for operations,’ she said. #PAW2024 #PrivacyAwarenessWeek #PowerUpYourPrivacy Office of the Information Commissioner (Queensland) Information and Privacy Commission NSW
