She teaches, speaks, and writes about cybersecurity, privacy, data law, and AI topics and has been featured on the CBC and other news outlets. Carole is an Adjunct Professor of AI regulation at the University of Toronto and the co-editor of Leading Legal Disruption. Carole was appointed by the federal Minister of Innovation to serve as one of six digital leaders in the national data and digital transformation consultations. In this role, she consulted with businesses, academics, and civil society and industry associations to inform the first national Digital Charter. Her expertise in AI qualifies her to advise lawyers on the responsible use of ChatGPT and other forms of generative AI. In this episode… With the rapid adoption of AI, law firms are employing this technology to review contracts and assess documents during electronic discovery. However, AI often misconstrues inherently biased data, and without reviewing its output, lawyers and firms risk legal violations. How can you leverage AI technologies responsibly and ethically? As a litigator and data privacy consultant, Carole Piovesan advises attorneys on AI's legal implications and helps develop governance programs. These initiatives involve performing third-party bias and model assessments on high-risk AI to secure confidential data. When inputting data into an AI system, Carole says to ascertain the information's location to protect it from open-source databases. Additionally, firms must provide adequate lawyer training, oversight, and output controls to develop a beneficial AI program. On this episode of The Lawyer's Edge Podcast, Carole Piovesan, the Managing Partner of INQ Law, joins Elise Holtzman to discuss how lawyers and firms can develop AI governance programs that will increase value and reduce reputational and legal risks. Carole shares the dangers of high-risk AI, how to adapt to evolving AI use cases and regulations, and her research on the integration of AI and law. 

OpenAI's ChatGPT and other large language model AI have brought the long-standing promises of artificial intelligence to fruition. ChatGPT has taken the world by storm, accumulating millions of users worldwide. However, this tool and others like it are being met with trepidation and fear by many AI pioneers.  To help us make sense of these developments and their implications is Valérie Pisano, President and CEO of Mila, the Quebec Institute of Artificial Intelligence.In this episode, you'll hear why AI leaders are calling for a temporary pause on further AI development. We also consider the implications of these tools for workplaces and workers.  Additionally, we delve into the unique opportunity we have in the coming months to set a path for responsible AI development, leveraging Canadian ingenuity and a deep respect for humanity.About our guest:Valérie Pisano holds the position of President and CEO of Mila, the Quebec Institute of Artificial Intelligence, since May 2018.

Data are the lifelines of a digital economy. They drive innovation, enabling cutting-edge research and next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and the Internet of things (IoT). But these opportunities introduce new sources of risk that must be managed appropriately. Canadians are raising important questions such as, “How will personal data be used?” and “What controls are in place to safeguard privacy and security?”  To encourage innovation within the digital economy while managing this risk, the Government of Canada has established the need for digital trust between citizens and organizations as an enabler by implementing a Digital Charter. As the Canadian government cites, “Trust is the foundation on which our digital and data-driven Canadian economy will be built.” This digital trust is defined by the “confidence that users have in the ability of people, technology, and processes to create a secure digital world. Tune into this ISACA Podcast as the Acting Director of Internal Assurance at the Office of Enterprise Risk & Assurance of the University of British Columbia (UBC), Mary Carmichael, join's ISACA's Safia Kazi to explore topics including what is the Digital Charter and how it supports digital trust; what are critical elements of the Digital Charter (e.g., AI Ethics, Privacy, Principles for the Digital Economy); what are the implications for organizations and the public.   To read Mary's full-length article, visit https://www.isaca.org/enabling-digital-trust-with-canadas-digital-charter.

The privacy regime in Canada got a big shot in the arm, as on the 16th of June, Bill C-27 was introduced by David Lametti, the Attorney General of Canada and Minister of Justice, and Francois-Philippe Champagne, who is the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. The new Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022, is all set to revamp the way Canadians view digital privacy. It has three different pieces of legislation which are the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act, and the Consumer Privacy Protection Act. The three legislations aim to strengthen Canada's data privacy framework, especially making changes to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. It will also be recreating new regulations to ensure that AI is responsibly developed and will continue implementing the Digital Charter of Canada. The new proposals are all set to introduce new changes to how privacy is enforced throughout the nation. This marks a revolutionary change for Canadians as they will get a new lease of life with the protection of their personal information. It is good for the public, and the response will be favourable as everyone wants to ensure that their private data is well protected. The Digital Charter will bring about a new era of data protection for Canadians and will ensure that the data privacy laws in Canada are in line with international standards. It is the right of every Canadian to seek new avenues to protect their online data, and that is precisely what this new Digital Charter will look to present to Canadians. It will take into account Canadian values and will represent them to the best of its abilities while ensuring that people are getting their money's worth when it comes to safeguarding their private information. The Consumer Privacy Protection Act The introduction of the Digital Charter Implementation Act of 2022 is aimed at ensuring that Canadians are equipped with the latest data privacy features. It is the right of every Canadian to feel safe and trust that their information isn't being misused by anyone. The information Canadians choose to share with businesses should be kept in a manner that no one gets access to them and they should be used in a convenient method that ensures the safekeeping of their personal information. It is also designed to provide businesses with a clearer set of rules that supports their efforts to use Canadian data for their purposes. It will also present them with a viable solution for developing AI in a responsible manner and recognize that the information shared by young people shouldn't be used for nefarious purposes. It is meant to be safeguarded and prevent anyone from misusing this information in a manner that would harm individuals. The Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act The second part of the Digital Charter Act will see the establishment of a new tribunal that will be charged with putting up financial penalties on all organizations that are caught violating the CPPA. The compliance with the CPPA will be overseen by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and they will also have the authority to issue orders against companies, which include the power to order companies to stop their collection of personal data. They will also be making recommendations for the different levels of fines they can charge companies with, but it will be the task of the tribunal to identify what monetary penalties they are charging companies that break the rules. The penalties are thought to be extremely steep and they will only get worse with time as you will have to come down hard on repeat offenders. All organizations that don't comply with the rules and regulations outlined in the act can face penalties that go up to 5% of their global revenue, or they will have to pay $25 million, whichever is greater. The fine is substantial enough to put a dent in their earnings and stop them from sharing th...

Announced on May 21, 2019, the Digital Charter has led to significant proposed reforms to Canada's federal private sector privacy law.

Using data to make decisions—either by a person or by a machine—has become a big part of our lives over the past couple of decades. Our lawmakers have tried to keep up, but innovation will likely always outpace bureaucracy. And, in a world where most of us have clicked “I have read the terms and conditions” even when we haven't, the implications of out-of-date privacy laws could become serious.In November, the federal government introduced the Digital Charter Implementation Act to try to better protect Canadians and their privacy. This update to Canada's privacy laws is overdue, but will it do what it sets out to? Shaun Brown, lawyer and privacy expert, helps us understand the proposed new laws and what they might mean to you.Find Shaun on LinkedIn, or through the nNovation LLP website, nnovation.com, or on Twitter @nNovationllp.Listen to our other podcasts at conferenceboard.ca/insights/podcasts. You can find all of our research here: conferenceboard.ca/.

Today we talk about the Church of England's new Digital Charter for online engagement; Stormzy's appearance at Glastonbury; and a tragic case of abuse within the church which has surfaced recently. How should we react when our Christian witness is compromised like this?Support the show

Tragedy such as the massacre in New Zealand rightly brings calls for action from the public at large and therefore from Governments. It seems that there is a new wrinkle with every new terror event and Christchurch exposed the futility of Big Data to control content. The most disturbing part may be that despite Facebook removing the terrorist's video in short order, it was copied and re-posted globally by a magnitude over live views. The Christchurch Call is the resulting action from a global group of nations, corporations and monitoring agencies. It builds on initiatives already underway mostly from a control perspective but calls for urgent measures by platform providers first, government regulatory efforts second. History does not indicate that Big Data can or will control the problems on their own. Where the momentum goes as the latest mass slaughter of innocents fades from screens has yet to be determined. Canada has not been a spectator as the internet devolves and indications are that patience is wearing thin. Electoral integrity has been in the news with a lack of co-operation from social media platforms to comply. The reality is any regulatory measures on Big Data will fall to the next government. Canada's Digital Charter seeks to reform competition and privacy rules to build a "foundation of trust" between Canadians and the digital world. It's the result, to this point, of a topic that has been prominent since 2016 for Ottawa. How much can be accomplished without regulation and penalties for non-compliance? How can Big Data be trusted? Enter a private initiative called The Trust Project. Funded and controlled by Big Data and friends, the premise is to restore credibility to media. But which media? Is it a new censorship and independent media suppression tool? Is it integrity or revenue that drives these efforts? Will artificial intelligence algorithmic policing help or continue to confuse things?

Theresa May has been forced to ditch whole chunks of her party's manifesto in the wake of the election, but one of the key non-Brexit policies to survive is the plan to crack down on tech companies that allow extremist and abusive material to be published on their networks. The recent terrorist attacks have strengthened the arguments of campaigners who've long said that it's far too easy to access this kind of content and have accused internet companies of wilfully ignoring the problem. The promised "Digital Charter" will aim to force those companies to do more to protect users and improve online safety. With the growing power of tech giants like Google, Facebook and Twitter, connecting billions of people around the globe, is it pie in the sky to promise that Britain will be the safest place to be online? On one level this is a moral argument which has been going on for centuries about what we should, and should not be allowed to read and see and who should make those decisions. But is this a bigger problem than freedom of speech? Have we reached a tipping point where the moral, legal, political and social principles that have guided us in this field have been made redundant by the technology? Do we need to find new kind of moral philosophy that can survive in a digital age and tame the power of the tech-corps? Or is the problem uncomfortably closer to home - a question that each and every one of us has to face up to? Tim Cook, the chief executive of Apple, recently said that he was concerned about new technologies making us think like computers "without values or compassion, without concern for consequence." Witnesses are Nikita Malik, Tom Chatfield, Mike Harris and Mariarosaria Taddeo.

Jan Philipp Albrecht, Jeanette Hofmann, Christoph Kucklick, Heinrich Wefing, Johnny Haeusler, Daniel Opper Die Digital Charta versucht, Antworten zu geben auf die Frage, wie sich die Freiheit des Einzelnen im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung schützen lässt – gegenüber Staaten, aber auch gegenüber internationalen Großkonzernen. In 23 Artikeln unterbreitet der Entwurf unter anderem Vorschläge zur Autonomie und Freiheit des Einzelnen, zum Einsatz und zur Entwicklung künstlicher Intelligenz, zu informationeller Selbstbestimmung und Datensicherheit und zu weiteren wichtigen Aspekten wie dem Umgang mit Hetze und Hass im Netz. Zu den 27 Initiatoren der Digital Charta gehören Experten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Zivilgesellschaft wie Heinz Bude, Juli Zeh, Johnny Haeusler, Ulrich Wilhelm, Wolfgang Hoffmann-Riem, Jeanette Hofmann, Sascha Lobo, Martin Schulz und Rebecca Casati. Etwa 50 prominente Persönlichkeiten unterstützen den Entwurf. Zu den Unterzeichnern gehören: Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Carolin Emcke, Markus Beckedahl, Jürgen Habermas, Wolfgang Ischinger, Jaron Lanier, Miriam Meckel, Heribert Prantl und Norbert Röttgen. Alle Bürger sind seitdem gefragt, diesen Impuls aufzunehmen, zu kommentieren und sich aktiv an der weiteren Debatte zu beteiligen. Neben viel Zustimmung gab es eine ganze Reihe von Kritikpunkten und Verbesserungsvorschlägen. Gemeinsam mit dem re:publica-Publikum wollen wir die Diskussion weiterführen, den aktuellen Textentwurf erörtern, fortentwickeln und Perspektiven für stärkere Grundrechte im digitalen Zeitalter fördern. _________________________________ #DigitalCharta – do we need fundamental rights for the digital age? Following an invitation by the ZEIT-Stiftung, a group of 27 citizens drew up a draft "Charter of Digital Fundamental Rights of the European Union" and in December 2016 presented it to the public. Since then the draft has been publicly discussed and further developed. The opening panel at #DigitalCharta Con will present the initiative and bring together the authors and critics of the Charter. The aim of the Digital Charter is to find answers to the question of how the freedom of the individual can be protected in the digital age – against encroachments both by the state and by multinational companies. The 23 articles of the draft offer proposals on - among others – the autonomy and liberty of the individual, the use and development of artificial intelligence, self-determination in the information age, data security, and other important issues such as online trolling and incitement to hatred. Among the 27 initiators of the Digital Charter are experts from various fields in civil society such as Heinz Bude, Juli Zeh, Johnny Haeusler, Ulrich Wilhelm, Wolfgang Hoffmann-Riem, Jeanette Hofmann, Sascha Lobo, Martin Schulz, and Rebecca Casati. Around 50 leading figures have chosen to lend their support. Among those who have signed the Charter are: Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Carolin Emcke, Markus Beckedahl, Jürgen Habermas, Wolfgang Ischinger, Jaron Lanier, Miriam Meckel, Heribert Prantl, and Norbert Röttgen. All citizens are now invited to join the campaign, to comment on the proposals, and actively participate in the debate. Whilst the proposal has garnered much support, a number of critical issues have been raised and changes proposed. Together with the re:publica audience, we aim to continue the debate, and to discuss and amend the current version of the draft in order to strengthen fundamental rights in the digital age.

Jeanette Hofmann, Malte Spitz, Wolfgang Kleinwächter, Götz Hamann, Daniel Opper, Gerhart Baum, Beate Wagner, Sascha Lobo, Jan Ehlert, Domenika Ahlrichs Seit der Veröffentlichung des Charta-Entwurfs im Dezember 2016 wird der Vorschlag (zu lesen unter: www.digitalcharta.eu) im Netz diskutiert. Dutzende Blogeinträge, Kommentare, Artikel in Online-Medien, tausende Tweets und mehr als 400 Kommentare auf der Webseite der Initiative zeugen davon. Darunter sind viele Vorschläge und Ideen, um den bestehenden Text zu verändern, zu erweitern und Missverständliches deutlicher zu formulieren. Gemeinsam mit Autoren und dem Publikum sollen die großen Konfliktlinien in zwei parallelen Fishbowl-Runden diskutiert werden. Zusammen wollen wir mit dem Publikum an Vorschlägen für einen veränderten Text arbeiten. Kontrovers waren vor allem folgende Themen: Dürfen Grundrechte im digitalen Zeitalter auch gegenüber privaten Konzernen gelten, wenn diese de facto öffentliche Funktionen übernehmen? Welcher Schutz soll für Urheber, Rechteinhaber und Immaterialgüter gelten? Wie kann man ein Grundrecht auf Meinungsfreiheit für den digitalen Raum formulieren, das gegen Zensur ist, gleichzeitig aber dem Hass im Netz Grenzen aufzeigen soll? Welche Artikel sind sinnvoll, welche gehören nicht in einen Grundrechtekatalog, welche fehlen?   Wenn Sie einen weiteren Aspekt mit uns diskutieren wollen, senden Sie uns bitte einen Vorschlag an: digitalcharta@zeit-stiftung.org Parallel zu diesem Workshop findet ein weiterer Workshop auf Stage 9 statt. __________________________________ #DigitalCharta – a critical discussion In two fishbowl conversations with the general public we will discuss the articles of the Digital Charter and address a number of critical issues that have been raised. Together we will work on suggestions for a draft version "2.0". Since the publication of the draft Charter in December 2016, the proposal (which can be accessed at: www.digitalcharta.eu) has been widely debated on digital media. Dozens of blog entries, comments, articles on online media sites, thousands of tweets and more than 400 comments on the initiative website bear witness to this. Among these contributions are many suggestions and ideas for amending and expanding the proposed text in order to address ambiguities and enhance clarity. The authors and the general public are invited to discuss the key critical issues in two parallel fishbowl conversations. Together with the audience we will work on suggestions to improve the text of the Charter. The following topics have given rise to the greatest controversies: Should fundamental rights in the digital age also apply to private companies, even where these perform what can be defined as public functions? What kinds of protection should apply to authors, rights holders and intellectual property? How can a fundamental right to free speech be formulated for the digital arena, which resists censorship, but at the same time addresses the issue of online incitement to hatred? Which articles are necessary and reasonable? Which ones do not belong in a catalogue of fundamental rights, and which other ones should be included?   If there are any further issues that you would like to discuss with us, please send your suggestions to: digitalcharta@zeit-stiftung.org In parallel with this workshop another workshop session takes place on stage 9.

How can a fundamental right to free speech be formulated for the digital arena, which resists censorship, but at the same time addresses the issue of online incitement to hatred? Which articles are necessary and reasonable? Which ones do not belong in a catalogue of fundamental rights, and which other ones should be included?   If there are any further issues that you would like to discuss with us, please send your suggestions to: digitalcharta@zeit-stiftung.org In parallel with this workshop another workshop session takes place on stage 8. 

Sascha Lobo, Jeanette Hofmann, Malte Spitz, Götz Hamann, Steven Hill Die DigitalCharta-Initiative ist nicht die einzige Initiative ihrer Art. Welche Chancen und Perspektiven hat so eine Charta für digitale Grundrechte in Europa? In welchem Verhältnis steht die deutsche Initiative zu anderen europäischen Entwürfen – und wie zu den Bemühungen der Vereinten Nationen um eine Verankerung digitaler Grundrechte? Und was geschieht nach der Bundestagswahl? Wie geht es mit der DigitalCharta selbst weiter? Was können wir gemeinsam bewegen?   Diese und andere Fragen werden auf dem Abschlusspanel der #DigitalCharta Con diskutiert. ________________________________ #DigitalCharta – the way forward? The panel discussion aims to address the (political) prospects of the initiative in Germany and Europe in connection with the following question: how can we strengthen fundamental rights for the digital age? Representatives from politics, academia, and the workshops are invited to contribute. The Digital Charter initiative is not the only initiative of its kind. What are the opportunities and prospects for such a Charter for digital fundamental rights in Europe? What is the relation between the German initiative and other, similar European proposals – and how can these be seen in relation to the endeavours of the United Nations to formulate binding digital fundamental rights? What are likely scenarios after the German federal elections? What is the way forward for the Digital Charter? How much can we achieve together?   These are just some of the questions that the final panel discussion at #DigitalCharta Con aims to address.
