DESCRIPTION:Join us for an AI and the Law conference with Philip Dawson\, P
 ublic Policy Lead\, Element AI.\n\nAbstract\n\nFrom e-commerce and email t
 o mobile apps\, consent to the collection and use of personal data has bec
 ome a condition of participation in the digital economy.\n\nWhile online p
 latforms have facilitated many aspects of our lives\, the models of data g
 overnance they employ tend to concentrate access to data and the benefits 
 of artificial intelligence in the hands of a few large technology companie
 s—excluding citizens from sharing in their value. Recent scandals have als
 o illustrated the extent to which these data governance models make us vul
 nerable to attacks on our privacy rights\, and other human rights abuses. 
 To restore public trust\, new approaches to data governance are desperatel
 y needed.\n\n“Data trusts” — a third-party stewardship model of data gover
 nance based on the common law trust — have the potential to to reinforce d
 ata governance and promote public trust. In a recently released white pape
 r\, Element AI examines how data trusts could be used to: provide individu
 als with a greater measure of control over their personal data\; increase 
 access to data and foster innovation\; address asymmetries of power that e
 xist between corporations\, the government and individuals\; enhance the p
 rotection of individual privacy and other human rights\; and\, empower the
  public to share in the value of data and artificial intelligence.\n\nMore
  work is needed to flesh out this concept\, so come along and join the dis
 cussion!\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nPhilip Dawson is Public Policy Lead at El
 ement AI\, an artificial intelligence products provider based in Montreal\
 , Canada and a global thought leader in the adoption of responsible AI. Pr
 eviously\, Phil worked as a policy advisor at the United Nations aviation 
 agency\, working with governments and international organizations on the d
 evelopment and implementation of international standards and policy guidan

 cial litigation with a prominent national law firm. Phil holds undergradua
 te degrees in political science and law from McGill University\, as well a

 omics and Political Science.\n\nAI and the Law Series\n\nThe AI and the La
