Udbhav Tiwari, Mozilla’s Director of Global Product Policy, testifies at a Senate committee hearing on the importance of federal privacy legislation in the development of AI.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, convened a full committee hearing titled \u201cThe Need to Protect Americans\u2019 Privacy and the AI Accelerant<\/a>.\u201d The hearing explored how AI has intensified the need for a federal comprehensive privacy law that protects individual privacy and sets clear guidelines for businesses as they develop and deploy AI systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mozilla’s Director of Global Product Policy, Udbhav Tiwari<\/a>, served as a key witness at the public hearing, highlighting privacy\u2019s role as a critical component of AI policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Mozilla, we believe that comprehensive privacy legislation is foundational to any sound AI framework,\u201d Tiwari said. \u201cWithout such legislation, we risk a \u2018race to the bottom\u2019 where companies compete by exploiting personal data rather than safeguarding it. Maintaining U.S. leadership in AI requires America to lead on privacy and user rights.\u201d Tiwari added that data minimization should be at the core of these policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a champion of the open internet, Mozilla has been committed to advancing trustworthy AI for half a decade<\/a>. \u201cWe are dedicated to advancing privacy-preserving AI and advocating for policies that promote innovation while safeguarding individual rights,\u201d Tiwari said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
