[models4privacy] Fwd: Introducing the speakers: AI tools & engineering m

[Michelle Chibba <michellechibba.tmu@xxxxxxxxx>]

We hope you will join us at the end of this month.  Here are the speakers that will kick off the discussion of the impact of AI tools on the development of engineering models for privacy by design.

1. Steve Hickman -  Steve will give a brief overview of his thoughts on some of the AI tools and Privacy by Design.  He says: "If tools like Mythos properly understand privacy, it seems that Privacy by Design becomes an issue of writing the correct prompt for the AI model being used. If we can write those prompts and supply them to the AI tool vendors, it may be possible that all code generation will include them automatically as 'privacy as the default'.    Steve was the creator of true Privacy First Design tooling. Epistimis Modeling Tool (EMT) that automates the Privacy Impact Assessment process (Reference in ISO/IEC TS 27564:2025(en) Privacy protection — Guidance on the use of models for privacy engineering.)

2.  Dimitri van Landuyt - Dimitri is faculty at KU Leuven University. He is an active contributor to the LINDDUN privacy threat modeling framework (Reference in ISO/IEC TS 27564:2025(en) Privacy protection — Guidance on the use of models for privacy engineering), and conducts empirical research on threat modeling approaches and tools. We all acknowledge the proliferation of AI conversation platforms has introduced unprecedented privacy risks through user-shared conversations. Dimitri will share an overview of the main findings and takeaways of a large-scale study that he led, involving over 100K real-world chatbot conversations.

3. Laurens Sion - Laurens is a Research Expert on Privacy Engineering at the DistriNet research group at the Department of Computer Science at KU Leuven.
His research focuses on security and privacy threat modeling and automating several facets of threat modeling (creating models, elicitation, risk analysis, etc.). On June 30th, Lauren will present a new foundational GenAI privacy threat modeling framework built on LINDDUN that is deliberately tailored to assess privacy threats and risks specific to the construction of GenAI-based solutions. It includes support for sophisticated GenAI privacy threats and provides over 100 specific example threats.  Learn more about Laurens here Laurens Sion
