While AI models and data analytics create a world of new possibilities for identifying business insights, they have also created numerous new privacy implications and ethical responsibilities for insights professionals. With International Data Privacy on January 28, 2021, the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) AI & Data Analytics Thought Leadership Council and ESOMAR have organized an online panel of leading data privacy professionals to explore key questions related to privacy in the era of AI and data analytics. The panel will explore the implications of Canada's proposed Digital Charter Implementation Act (Bill C-11), that intends to establish a new privacy law for the private sector and new powers for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, the role of standards in data governance, transparency of algorithms and decision systems, and ethical implications of data collection and insights generation. The panel will also describe a new guideline being developed by ESOMAR and GRBN for researchers and clients when processing secondary data for research. The panel will be moderated by Briana Brownell, CEO of Pure Strategy AI, and member of CRIC's AI & Data Analytics Thought Leadership Council.

The rapid explosion of technology has led to a new age where the checks and balances of ethical data collection and self-regulation that grew organically over the past 70 years are now often 'overlooked' in favor of speed and cost-efficiency -all these with detrimental effects. As part of ESOMAR's continued commitment to better understand how data is being used within and outside of organizations, how it is being controlled, and who 'owns' that data, we partnered with Kadence International to conduct a study amongst executives working in marketing, advertising, market research, and IT in North America, Europe and Asia. The results showed that although business leaders around the world put a high commercial value on consumer data, they pay far less emphasis on ensuring its security.
