Quantum-compliance Privacy tools for Quantum-computing

12 December 2024

Last week, Google announced its shift to Willow Quantum AI Computing, and so doing enhanced the question around compliance tools such as Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and tools provided to individuals to be in control - raising two questions:
  1. How can AI-enabled systems/data processing be assessed comprehensively and efficiently with DPIAs?
  2. Which tools are needed for individuals to "control" their privacy in a quantum computing era?
Such move is strong evidence that DPIAs are indeed "unfit" for the purposes they serve - e.g. putting entities drafting them in capacity to better protect our fundamental rights in practice. A backbone for viable and meaningful privacy compliance globally can only be:

  1. sound Privacy Management Programs and
  2. performant online tools for internet users.
In an AI-powered world, the question shall not be: "Should I be redrafting my DPIA?" or "How should I inform individuals online?" but: "How can I handle, on the fly, all substantial tech & interconnected changes to best serve individuals' right to transparency & control?" and "What creative tools are most useful for doing so?"

ID side game-changing tools do not address the first problem (compliance documentation) but definitely and groundbreakingly address the second: there are tech-revamped tools out there empowering individuals to exercise their rights "on the fly" and adapt to Tech changes.
