The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) is hosting “Risks and Risk Assessments: Reporting Out on California's Proposed AI & Privacy Regulations” on Monday, June 16 at 9am PT / 12pm ET. EPIC Senior Counsel Sara Geoghegan will moderate the virtual discussion panel and will be joined by: Ben Winters, Director of AI and Privacy at the Consumer Federation of America; Swati Chintala, Research Manager for the Labor Program at TechEquity; Dr. Gemma Galdon-Clavell, founder and CEO of Eticas.ai; and Mayu Tobin-Miyaji, Law Fellow focusing on AI and Human Rights at EPIC. From groceries to loans, employment, and medical care, AI systems increasingly govern access to goods and essential services affecting our daily lives. As a result, risk assessments have become an indispensable tool for upholding privacy, autonomy, and human rights. The panel will examine existing risk assessment frameworks, with special attention to the California Privacy Protection Agency’s regulatory process. Panelists will discuss best practices, EPIC’s forthcoming risk assessment report, and major developments as the CPPA moves toward finalizing its rules.
