🔻As a matter of best practice, the OAIC recommends that organisations do not enter personal information, and particularly sensitive information, into publicly available generative AI tools, due to the significant and complex privacy risks involved.

🤖Today the @OAICgov publishes new guidance on privacy and artificial intelligence 🌟

[Carly Kind @carlykind_]

🔻 If AI systems are used to generate or infer personal information, including images, this is a collection of personal information and must comply with APP 3.

The 4 members of the Digital Platform Regulators Forum – the OAIC, @acccgovau, @acmadotgov and @eSafetyOffice– met last week to reflect on activities over 2023–24 and agree to collective goals and strategic priorities. Read more: https://t.co/bKMMZCm6Us

@superwuster Not directly on point but have you seen the Knowing Machines project? They have a visual article called Models All The Way Down which breaks down the LAION 5B dataset and training process in fascinating and complex detail: https://t.co/R6giQQ5j8t cc @katecrawford

The OAIC has been advised by MediSecure that approximately 12.9 million individuals may have had their personal and limited health information relating to prescriptions, as well as healthcare provider information, exposed in a cyber security incident. 1/2

@chloehamilton Not sure where you’re based but if it’s London - you can register them in a different borough & then they’ll transfer the registration. E.g. when our child was born we lived in Newham & couldn’t get an app for 3 mths, so registered in Waltham Forest and they transferred it.

It is also a reminder that the large majority of Australian organisations aren’t subject to the Privacy Act. Reforms to that Act are urgent to ensure that organisations everywhere have as legal as well as ethical obligations to protect the personal information they hold 💪🏻

[Carly Kind @carlykind_]

Australians rightly expect that their personal information, particularly the most sensitive kinds such as health data, will be adequately protected by technical and organisational measures. There is no excuse for poor or lax data security.

[Carly Kind @carlykind_]

This case should serve as a wake up call to organisations everywhere to invest in their digital defences.

[Carly Kind @carlykind_]

Today we have brought legal action against Medibank alleging serious interferences with privacy of more than 9 million Australians, which became apparent after one of the largest data breaches in Australian history ⚖️

[Office of the Australian Information Commissioner @OAICgov]

The Australian Information Commissioner has filed civil penalty proceedings in the Federal Court against Medibank in relation to its October 2022 data breach.

@TJCleaver @e3i5 @A__W______O Extremely impressive recall @TJCleaver, clearly you don’t have kids who wake up at 5am (or in our case, just don’t sleep at all)? Diary marked!!!

@lilianedwards @PrivacyPros @BrentRHoman @ICOnews @PrivacyPrivee @OAICgov @CarlyKind I only heard about that as I was leaving! Sorry to miss you & @ChrisTMarsden @mikarv!
