My name is Manoj Singh in India how to economic growth devlopment in the world Deta is a must privacy sistem improve
Manoj Singh in India 

Data integrity is essential in the practice of medical services, health care. Often times what a patient needs is not clearly defined even by the patient, then must be interpreted by the provider, to treat that set of disease in order to relieve suffering of patient. How can we be assured the data bias is in the favor of the patient's outcome.
Laura L. Dawson 

Bias may discriminate to the benefit as well as to over-rule against an individual. This then becomes the issue. Laws are then the norm regulators, thereby putting a fair amount of power into attorneys and the Law; their bias in interpreting the law. We see bias at this time in the Supreme Court in the USA. This becomes implicit bias.
Laura L. Dawson 

Women may wear make-up to protect our skin, rather than the assumption it was to beautify appearance artificially.
Laura L. Dawson 

Health are at the National Institutes of Health, did not included women in research, simply by the lack of women participation in the "job, employment" markets. Health care did not perform a significant amount of research on pregnant women, thereby making pregnancy a higher risk period of time in a women's lifetime, during which more care may be helpful, especially to reduce Maternal Mortality Rates MMR by the World Health Organization stats.
Laura L. Dawson 

I've heard that some organizations don't even know all of the data they have or how is it stored - do you think that's more widespread than the occasional news story? What's the significance of this - can they fix things if they don't even fully understand things?
AK 

Words like can and may, begin to have more value in the vocabulary of health care professionals. We do not cure anything, we attempt to reduce suffering, symptoms, allowing the patient to lead their own life in a better Quality Of Life [a term added to the providers measurement of delivery of services by the World Health Organization at the onset of this millenia. Equations were put into place to measure a lifetime, and the Quality of LIfe, as a subjective term. There was a written statement by the World Health Organization that ended its term 2023.
Laura L. Dawson 

That concludes the discussion. Thank you to all who tuned in! The event replay will be available here or on WB Live.

Do we need to harmonize cross-border data regulations across regions? What will be the best-case approach if this should be done?
Desmond Israel 

Most Adtech companies often believe that their advertising efforts are insulated from privacy and data security issues because they are using aggregated and “anonymized” data. Does the panel share this view? What are the counter arguments if any?
Desmond Israel 

Should some things be beyond the reach of ads entirely so that there's no good reason for marketers to have that data (e.g. medicine, other essential services)? It is often the case for medicine outside th US, which is an outlier in that regard
AK 

With all the 2nd verification steps to get into our own accounts, we lose time and miss opportunities. Yet AI does not know that I no longer visit that office, highway, or city for what reason. This is much time lost on analysis by AI, and often inaccurate. How will this be addressed?
Laura L. Dawson 

In health care, there is critical use of time, to save a life. Privacy?? No, just save the life first and address the concerns about how you got your approvals, in a pre-existing approval by the patient, under expanded conditions.
Laura L. Dawson 

Qs for David Satola, in what region has the World Bank been focusing on most when it comes to Privacy&Digital Development projects and why?
B. Sproviero 

Thank you all at the World Bank Group, for opening this platform and the minds associated with it today.
Laura L. Dawson

Please submit your questions for Professor Ryan Calo on this chat.
Shahana Basu (Chat Moderator)  

Is there any on going research studies on the effect of the privacy violation on people? If not, why not and when will it commence? If there are, is it not important to make the findings more easily assessible so that there can be more seriousness attached to responsibility and accountability.
Ayobola Annie ALO 

We have very little data protection in Paraguay. What can you when the financial institutions and the telephhone Companies sell your data? We receive ads we don't want to.I don't know what else they do with my info
VICENTE Aguilar 

Given that a lot of employees of MDBs are watching this, many of whom are likely operational (in the field), what can they do to be more cognizant of projects that may induce vulnerability?
AK
