Agenda:

8:00 – 8:20	Networking and Registration
8:20 – 8:35	Introductions and Chapter Business
8:35 – 10:00	Presentation: Maximizing the Benefits of Data De-Identification: Strategies for Sustainable Implementation Andrew Dickinson Join us as we explore the value of data de-identification for organizations and individuals, and the critical factors for ensuring its continued success. We will delve into the common drivers behind de-identification initiatives, and examine two key approaches used in HIPAA compliance: Safe Harbor and Expert Determination. Having de-identified 1,000’s of datasets and led the development of guidance and standards, we will present Expert Determination as an innovative, statistically-informed solution with global applicability (e.g., EU and the GDPR). Through illustrative case studies, we will highlight considerations and best practices that can impact the effectiveness of de-identification efforts. By providing practical insights, our talk will empower organizations to create a sustainable and impactful data de-identification strategy.
10:00 – 10:20	Break
10:20-11:45	Presentation: Prosaic headaches around the AI chatbot megatrend and how they may evolve Alexander Mueller The world of large language model chatbots like Open AI's ChatGPT or Google's Bard is evolving very fast and many people are making haste to integrate these tools into their daily work. Regrettably, though, many of us work in industries where intellectual property, data privacy, or other compliance concerns prevent us from responsibly going totally wild using these tools in any manner we choose. Companies are presently figuring out how to react, and I will explore a recent well-publicized decision by Samsung to (temporarily...) ban the use of these tools by employees at work. I'll do my best to concretely explore known short-term headaches and probable emerging best practices before speculating on how issues at the intersection of competitive pressures in AI vs. realities of machine learning may make certain of these headaches perennial for a long time.
11:45-12:00	Wrap up and Give-Aways
