The City of Seattle is celebrating Data Privacy Week and spreading awareness about online privacy. We think data privacy should be a priority both for individuals and the organizations that protect the publics’ personal information.
Our goal is twofold: we want to help residents understand that they have the power to manage their personal data online, and we want to help reinforce the City’s commitment to privacy and our commitment to protecting resident data.
Data Privacy Week takes place January 26 – 30, 2026. The City of Seattle is promoting several events designed to help keep you safe online. Check it out!
Join the Seattle IT Department and the AI Safety Awareness Project (AISAP) for an interactive discussion on AI, data, and privacy on Thursday, January 22, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
This interactive workshop will focus on the real-world risks, trade-offs, and safeguards that matter most when considering AI and data privacy. Participants will learn about:
- The current state of AI
- How AI companies use data
- Tangible ways to protect yourself
- Where AI might be headed and how you can have a voice!
No prior knowledge about AI is necessary. Anyone is welcome to join!
