Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster will today outline how New Zealanders using AI tools can ensure theyre meeting their obligations under the Privacy Act 2020.
Thinking about privacy is vital if youre going to use AI tools well.
The Privacy Act applies whenever you collect, use, or share personal information, and it applies when youre using AI tools, said the Commissioner.
Helping New Zealand agencies and individuals understand their privacy obligations while using AI tools is critical to my Offices work, which is why weve prioritised the development of todays guidance. This guidance is for all agencies using AI tools in New Zealand.
The uptake of AI tools presents some specific challenges for privacy. Privacy protections rely on people and organisations who can understand context and take responsibility for their actions.
