Boss’n’Data Episode 14: Balancing Privacy with Innovation with Sorcha Lorimer

Welcome to the MBN Solutions Boss ‘n’ Data podcast show

According to the World Economic Forum, by 2025, it’s estimated that 463 exabytes of data will be created each day globally, the equivalent of 212,765,957 DVDs per day.
Some of this data will be generated by machines, and some of it by humans. When that data is our data, when it’s personal or sensitive information, we need to ask ourselves when should and shouldn't that data be shared or even collected. Whether it’s for medical trials that lead to breakthroughs 'for good' or with the government, or with technology companies building new AI tools, we should understand and accept when our data should be kept private and minimised and where sharing or publishing would be a breach of trust.

Rob and Sorcha discuss:

  • How both societal and organisational data literacy skills enhance data privacy and governance understanding.
  • The challenges that a lack of understanding can bring with regards to data sharing
  • “Surveillance Capitalism” and the data we’re sharing inadvertently…
