Announcement of Honoring This Year's Winning Privacy Papers at the 15th Annual Privacy Papers for Policymakers Event on our website
The Foundation for Privacy and Access (FPF) has announced the winners of the 15th annual Privacy Papers for Policymakers (PPPM) Awards. The event, scheduled for March 12, 2025, at FPF's offices in Washington, D.C., will bring together academics, policymakers, and industry leaders for a day of insightful discussions.
The PPPM Awards recognise leading U.S. and international privacy scholarship that is relevant to policymakers. This year, six winning papers, two honorable mentions, one student submission, and a student honorable mention were selected by FPF's Advisory Board.
Among the winners is the paper "Authoritarian Privacy" by Mark Jia, Georgetown University Law Center, which discusses how autocracies increasingly have privacy laws and why this is the case. Another notable winner is "The Overton Window and Privacy Enforcement" by Alicia Solow-Niederman, which contends that the legal answer is yes when it comes to the Federal Trade Commission's ability to confront emerging digital technologies like AI.
The student paper honorable mention goes to "Artificial Intelligence is like a Perpetual Stew" by Nathan Reitinger, University of Maryland - Department of Computer Science. Meanwhile, the Student Paper Award is given to "Data Subjects' Reactions to Exercising Their Right of Access" by a team of students from the University of Chicago and the University of Maryland.
FPF believes technology and data can benefit society and improve lives if the right laws, policies, and rules are in place. The organisation, headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in Brussels, is a global non-profit focused on data protection.
The ceremony will include discussions with discussants such as James Cooper, Jennifer Huddleston, and Brenda Leong. The event is free and registration is open to the public. The winners of the awards will have the opportunity to showcase their work at the ceremony.
While the key findings from the 2025 PPPM Awards are not yet publicly summarized, the event promises to be a significant gathering for those interested in data protection and privacy. For more detailed information, you may want to check the official FPF website or their recent press releases.
