“Particularly as adoption of generative AI accelerates, organizations will need to define new policies to protect personal data, respond to people’s growing privacy expectations, and provide consumers with more control and choice over their privacy and personal information,” added Barber. “Those attending our inaugural Summit will lead the way, bringing forth real solutions.”
