Episode 22 — Privacy by Design for AI
Privacy by design is the principle of embedding privacy protections into systems from the outset rather than adding them later. This episode introduces its core principles, including proactive safeguards, privacy as the default setting, and end-to-end lifecycle protection. Learners explore how privacy by design ensures compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and supports trust with users. Key practices include minimizing the amount of data collected, limiting purpose creep, and integrating robust consent mechanisms.
The discussion expands with applications across industries. In healthcare, privacy by design protects sensitive patient data while enabling research through anonymization. In consumer apps, strong defaults prevent excessive collection of location or behavioral information. Examples of failures, such as excessive data retention leading to regulatory fines, illustrate the cost of neglecting privacy. Learners also gain insight into organizational change, where privacy culture must be reinforced through training, accountability, and technical safeguards like encryption and access control.
