On Privacy and Technology - Selected Quotations

My new book, ON PRIVACY AND TECHNOLOGY, discusses my reflections on 25 years of studying privacy and how privacy law and policy need a radical rethink to protect privacy in today’s age of AI.

My book addresses a key question for our times: Can privacy law keep up with rapidly changing digital technologies, such as AI? 

I argue that the law can do so, but it must stop putting the onus on individuals to manage their privacy. In the digital age, individuals can’t protect themselves and can’t control their data. Policymakers must stop treating technology differently from everything else. Instead, they must hold the creators and users of technology accountable.

We’re now facing a deregulatory turn with technology, and my book pushes back: We need more regulation, not less. But the regulation must take a radically new direction.

Below, I am sharing a few key quotations from the book.
