Speaker: Deepak Tewari

Affiliation: Privately SA

Abstract:
So many legislations/ initiatives regarding age gating and online safety have been stifled because the debate around both these themes is framed as a conflict with data privacy and individual rights. Companies like Privately have solved this problem by allowing accurate age checks to be carried out without a user’s personal data ever leaving their own device. The next generation of games, apps and devices will be able to provide age appropriate age experiences through real-time age awareness. In this talk I will discuss EdgeAI, On device architectures and privacy preservation as it applies to many industries from social media and advertising to adult content and retail.
