Blog post from Zama
Jeremy Bradley-Silverio Donato and Lorrayne Porciuncula explore the evolving landscape of data governance and the innovative technologies that can enhance data security and transfer. They highlight the historical focus on privacy and data protection in policy discussions, noting the challenges posed by the exponential growth of data and the limitations of current encryption methods. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is presented as a promising solution for secure data processing without decryption, offering potential applications in areas like healthcare and predictive analytics. The concept of the Datasphere is introduced to frame data as a global ecosystem, urging a shift in perspective towards holistic, multi-disciplinary governance approaches. The discussion emphasizes the need for global cooperation, innovative frameworks, and the involvement of diverse sectors to advance data governance in a way that balances privacy and usability, with initiatives like Zama and the Datasphere Initiative playing a pivotal role in fostering these advancements.
