Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Daniel Solove: consent vs. privacy
Q: What about the optimistic view that AI could help us manage privacy through red lines or personal governance?
While optimistic concepts exist, practical implementation is uncertain and would require reliable AI that can understand and enforce personal red lines across dynamic data practices, which may be difficult to achieve at scale.
Daniel Solove: consent vs. privacy
Q: What might a better regulatory framework look like beyond delete rights and opt-out mechanisms?
A framework emphasizing data minimization, robust substantive protections, and fiduciary-like duties for data handlers, so that entities act in users' interests and are restricted from inferring sensitive information beyond what is necessary.
Daniel Solove: consent vs. privacy
Q: Why is burden on people to consent not effective, and what do you mean by that?
Consent models place the onus on individuals who often cannot read, understand, or anticipate downstream uses of their data, creating a performative ritual rather than meaningful control; the system benefits those who design data practices rather than the people it's supposed to protect.
Theodore Christakis: chatbot privacy dreams and the health AI agent rush
Q: How do current legal doctrines like work product privilege apply to AI-assisted legal work?
Courts have diverged: some rulings say AI tool outputs are not privileged if the data to the tool was disclosed by the client to a third party, while others argue that the tool functions as a mere instrument and does not destroy privilege, highlighting ongoing uncertainty.
Theodore Christakis: chatbot privacy dreams and the health AI agent rush
Q: What is the Health AI Agent Rush, and why does it matter for privacy governance in Europe?
It refers to rapid health-focused AI products that connect medical records and wearables, which could revolutionize care but conflict with GDPR, medical device regulation, and AI Act requirements, necessitating proactive governance.
