India's data protection bill - impact on data product design
Channel: Hasgeek TV
Date: 21/08/2020

In a few months, India will pass the GDPR-equivalent law - the Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB). Data science teams tend to be the most extensive users of data; their work impacts the users at much larger scale than the traditional analytics. This raises a number of questions:

1. What should data scientists know about the PDPB law? What are the implications on data science?
2. Does the law say anything about impact beyond privacy? What, if any, are the FAccT (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency) requirements under the current law?
3. How does one cope with ambiguity and diversity in the privacy requirements across geographies?
4. What kind of new processes and mechanisms should data scientists now plan for and build?
5. What do you foresee coming down the line - algorithmic accountability, product liability?

Panelists for this session were:
1. Sreenidhi Srinivasan, Senior Associate, Ikigai Law
2. Shivangi Nadkarni, Co-founder & CEO, Arrka
