Debbie Reynolds “The Data Diva” talks to Jay Averitt, Senior Privacy Product Manager/Privacy Engineer at Microsoft. We discuss Jay’s career trajectory into privacy engineering highlighting his early fascination with technology and law, leading to a career as a software engineer and later as a software engineer and licensed attorney. We emphasized the importance of integrating privacy considerations at the foundational level of design rather than as a reactive measure and highlighted the need for organizations to provide clear and concise privacy information to empower consumers. We also stressed the significance of building trust with users through transparent privacy practices and a user-centric approach to privacy. He emphasized the need to consider privacy fundamentals such as data minimization and transparency, particularly when storing customer data and addressing biases in AI models. He also expressed concerns about privacy and data collection in apps, emphasizing the need for better privacy considerations and consumer education. Debbie Reynolds and Jay Averitt concluded the meeting with mutual appreciation, emphasizing the evolving nature of privacy engineering, the value of diverse skills in this area, and the need to learn from past mistakes and prioritize transparency, especially in the context of LLMs handling potentially confidential information and his hope for Data Privacy in the future.
