Fostering Privacy-enhancing Technologies: DoE and NSF Research Coordination Network¶
DoE and NSF Jointly Launch Research Coordination Network for Privacy-enhancing Technologies¶
In a noteworthy initiative towards bolstering privacy-preserving technologies, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has joined hands with the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish a new Research Coordination Network (RCN). Designed to support the research, development, and production of Privacy-enhancing Technologies (PETs), this initiative is a part of the governmental measures under the executive order for the responsible and trustworthy use of artificial intelligence (AI).
Resolving Regulatory Obstacles¶
The primary mission of the RCN is to tackle regulatory and other impediments that obstruct the adoption of PETs. As data analytics tools that protect data privacy, PETs play a crucial role in the responsible use of AI.
Pioneering the Initiatives¶
The Future of Privacy Forum Education and Innovation Foundation will spearhead the network’s initiatives, which include accumulating industry, academic, and government experts to analyze the use cases and risks associated with PETs.
Conclusion¶
The collaborative launch of the RCN by the DoE and the NSF represents an important step forward in cultivating privacy-enhancing technologies and their integration into AI applications. By assembling experts from various sectors to define potential use cases and assess associated risks, the RCN aims to contribute substantially to the safe and trustworthy use of AI.
