(Transcription)Welcome to the first episode of Shifting Privacy Left. To kick off the show, I’m joined by Kavya Pearlman, Exec Director of The eXtended Reality Safety Initiative (XRSI) to discuss current challenges associated with extended reality (XR), the XRSI Privacy & Safety Framework, and the importance of embedding privacy into today’s technology.---------**Thank you to our sponsor, Privado, the developer friendly privacy platform**---------In our conversation, Kavya describes her vision for bridging the gap between government & technologists. While consulting Facebook back in 2016, she’s witnessed 1st-hand the impacts on society when technology risks are ignored or misunderstood. As XR technology develops, there’s a dire need for human-centered safeguarding and designing for privacy & ethics. We also discuss what it’s been like to create standards while the XR industry is still evolving, and why it’s crucial to influence standards at the foundational code-level. Kavya also shares her advice for builders of immersive products (developers, architects, designers, engineers, etc.) and what she urges regulators to consider when making laws for web3 tech.
