Why 30 years of data ethics failures won’t be fixed by regulating the newest technology
AI fatigue is real, but it’s not about AI. From cookies and loyalty cards to social media and generative AI, each cycle follows a pattern: quick rollout, data extraction, public harm, ethics debate, minimal governance. We claim each wave is new, but that avoids addressing underlying issues.
This webinar views the issue through a socio-technical lens: technology and society shape each other, so harm can’t be fixed by model adjustments. Privacy isn’t just individual consent but a systemic property of systems, incentives, and power. For governance, risk, audit, and security pros, this shift impacts what we assess, audit, and regulate. The good news: systemic problems mean those here can intervene.
