Privacy

Privacy in AI governance refers to the protection of personal data and individual information rights throughout the lifecycle of AI systems, from data collection through model training to deployment and monitoring. It encompasses compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA, technical safeguards such as differential privacy and data minimization, and organizational policies that limit data access and usage. For enterprises, robust privacy practices are essential to avoid regulatory penalties, maintain customer trust, and ensure that AI systems do not inappropriately expose or misuse sensitive information.
