Everybody thinks Privacy and AI Governance are important...    ....     ....don't they?

The truth is, sometimes they aren't as important in the minds of others as they might be to us, and even those of us who value privacy and responsible AI may sometimes have other things competing for our attention, resources, and planning.

Thankfully, it's not an all or nothing proposition.

I've been working to make privacy accessible, engaging, and *gasp* fun for 15+ years in tech, health, financial, and other industries, all while still supporting the needs of businesses, customers, and teammates alike. 

How can I help today?

Me: I like it when people are reunited with their lost pets 🐶 


Ring: say less, we’ll turn the entire neighborhood into a mass surveillance supercomputer that will capture countless images of anything in view of our ubiquitous all-seeing doorbell eyes as part of the search for little Buster

Me: ok not my first choice

The decision to stay positive in Privacy is ultimately a strategic one. 😄


Your influence at work will grow when people perceive you more like a ladder and less like a wall. 

🛑 “We cannot process that data for this project”
✅ “We could use this other data set to accomplish your same goal and do it compliantly.”

🛑 “This is against our policy.”
✅ “This is really close and with a couple adjustments this can work.”

🛑 “We can’t collect that information from consumers.”
✅ “Here’s the steps we need to take to make this collection ok…”


Sure, you’ll have to pull the alarm or put your foot down sometimes, but that shouldn’t be your default response. If it is, people will just learn to go around you. 

Whenever possible, frame your approach in a positive and enabling way.

Stakeholders will perceive you as a partner when your bag has more solutions than stop signs.

Explain the value of AI Impact Assessments to your teammates in 3 easy steps:


1️⃣ Highlight the assessment’s ability to identify potential risks and unintended consequences early on…when they are still avoidable and easier to account for.

2️⃣ Discuss the alignment that is created when cross-functional teams work together to establish the expectations and goals of the project.

3️⃣ Dress like a reliable old-timey cowboy. (Recommended)
