[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

How do we keep our data private? We're working with @ODIHQ on solutions. One key way forward is called federated learning. This can help improve #machinelearning models and help share data while maintaining #dataprivacy. Learn more in their latest report: https://t.co/NBgAm9qqJ7

[Calum @CalumInv]

Huge thanks to my colleagues, Anastasia and @FascinatingTech for their tireless efforts on this and the support of @RockefellerFdn, @DataDotOrg, @jhardinges and @JRobertKeller throughout. Thanks are also due to interviewees and colleagues who generously contributed to the report!

[Calum @CalumInv]

Really pleased to release this report today, which is the culmination of our present work on federated learning at the @ODIHQ and part of our expanding work on PETs 🐕🐈

[Open Data Institute @ODIHQ]

Privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) can facilitate the sharing of sensitive #data while protecting individuals’ autonomy and #privacy.
