6 yrs since #GDPR in full effect. Broad US privacy bill mired in Congress & we still "face unprecedented challenges to protecting information privacy" per
@TheOfficialACM's new TechBrief #11 by @drmaltman, @aloni_bologna, and Kobbi Nissim. Check it now! https://t.co/CvzUYcqKrG

Don't trust AI? You're not alone, says ACM's latest TechBrief: "Trusted AI." Such trust is vital, but engineers and proposed regs may be on the wrong track to building and gauging it. What to do? Read the Brief, of course! https://t.co/ewZcXvz831

Congratulations to lead author Barn Knowles and Europe TOC’s Climate Change Working Group!

[ACM Public Policy @acmpolicy]

"Computing can help mitigate #climatechange but must first stop contributing to it" tops Issue 1 of the ACM Tech Policy Council's https://t.co/Z9Xms0OPAl, now out for #COP26. It's a fast, deep dive for policy makers and the public into shrinking computing's big carbon footprint.

[ACM Public Policy @acmpolicy]

.@EuropeTPC has submitted Comments to the @EU_Commission backing https://t.co/7sW6ZFDchb on: robust, equitable net access; user privacy; e-gov and e-health services; online child protection; climate action; digital literacy; universal Informatics ed; and ethical algorithm design.

[EuropeTPC @EuropeTPC]

BREAKING: @EuropeTPC urges @EU_Commission to revise its draft #ArtificialIntelligence Regulation to: better protect public health, safety, & privacy + leverage universal Informatics education to close "skills gap" w/ a diverse, AI-literate workforce. See https://t.co/DWL3JDZCYC
