Jules Polonetsky, CEO of The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), discusses the organization's role in uniting policymakers, industry leaders, and academics to address privacy challenges posed by emerging technologies. FPF was founded to provide a collaborative space for Chief Privacy Officers (CPOs) and other stakeholders to discuss best practices, engage with regulators, and learn from academia. Polonetsky emphasizes the critical roles of both law and technology in setting guidelines for data usage by companies and governments, and highlights the evolving necessity for CPOs to have thorough technical knowledge to effectively navigate the complexities of data ecosystems. The conversation also touches on the increasing interest from both the private sector and government agencies in adopting privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to analyze data securely. Additionally, Polonetsky notes the growing activity of data privacy regulators who are keen to embrace PETs but require clearer guidance to ensure that these technologies meet legal standards. The discussion underscores the importance of international regulatory cooperation to provide clearer frameworks that encourage the adoption of PETs.
