The Data Diva E147 - Igor Barshteyn and Debbie Reynolds

Send us Fan MailDebbie Reynolds, “The Data Diva” talks to Igor Barshteyn, who is a Senior Manager, Information Security & Compliance Expert. We discuss Igor’s work in information security and data privacy and his passion for the implications of artificial intelligence on data privacy. He is a signatory of the Future of Life Institute's open letter asking for a pause in the deployment of AI systems to the public. He believes regulation with mandatory penalties is needed to protect data privacy and that the EU AI Act will set the standard for AI regulation worldwide. Igor believes that the US should have mandatory penalties for companies that fail to protect user data privacy rather than relying on voluntary frameworks. He also believes that AI models should be decentralized so that users can have more control over their data rather than relying on large companies to store and manage it. Igor believes that this will become more important as the world becomes more geopolitically unstable and there is more competition in terms of hacking and cyber warfare. Igor Barshteyn and Debbie Reynolds discuss the importance of data privacy and security and the need for companies to provide training and education to their staff in order to ensure that they are up to date with the latest technologies and regulations. We also discussed the need for individuals to be aware of the risks associated with using technology and to read privacy policies and end-user license agreements and his hope for Data Privacy in the future.By popular demand, Debbie Reynolds Consulting is now offering executive briefings on emerging data privacy risks and how companies can avoid them.
