Intel Drafts Model Legislation to Spur Data Privacy Discussion

Business Wire
What’s New: Intel Corporation released model legislation
designed to inform policymakers and spur discussion on personal
data privacy. Prompted by the rapid rise of new technologies like
artificial intelligence (AI), Intel’s model bill is open for review
and comment from privacy experts and the public on an interactive
website. The bill’s language and comments received should provide
useful insight for those interested in meaningful data privacy
legislation.
“The collection of personal information is a
growing concern. The US needs a privacy law that both protects
consumer privacy and creates a framework in which important new
industries can prosper. Our model bill is designed to spur
discussion that helps inspire meaningful privacy legislation.”--
David Hoffman, Intel associate general counsel and global privacy
officer
Why Privacy is Important: Data are the lifeblood for many
critical new industries, including precision medicine, automated
driving, workplace safety, smart cities and others. But the growing
amount of personal data collected, sometimes without consumers’
awareness, raises serious privacy concerns.
People need assurances that information that is shared – both
knowingly and unknowingly – will be used in beneficial, responsible
ways, and that they will be appropriately protected. The U.S. needs
a comprehensive federal law to create the framework in which
companies can demonstrate responsible behavior.
How It Works: Intel’s model data privacy bill aims to
bring together policymakers and others in a transparent and open
process that helps drive the development of actual data privacy
legislation. Intel has launched a website where interested parties
can review and comment on the model bill. Company leaders believe
input will help to promote the development of constructive data
privacy legislation in Congress.
More Context: Privacy is an important and ongoing issue
in our data-centric world. In a white paper published last month,
Intel’s Global Privacy team laid out six policy principles for
safety and privacy in the age of AI, one of the technical domains
that has significant privacy implications. These principles
summarized here were among the factors that influenced Intel’s
draft legislation:
- New legislative and regulatory
initiatives should be comprehensive, technology neutral and support
the free flow of data.
- Organizations should embrace risk-based
accountability approaches, putting in place technical or
organizational measures to minimize privacy risks in AI.
- Automated decision-making should be
fostered while augmenting it with safeguards to protect
individuals.
- Governments should promote access to
data, supporting the creation of reliable datasets available to
all, fostering incentives for data sharing, and promoting cultural
diversity in data sets.
- Funding research in security is
essential to protect privacy.
- It takes data to protect
data: Algorithms can help detect unintended discrimination and
bias, identity theft and cyber threats.
