Assistant Professor Thomas E. Kadri appeared before the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Advanced Information Technology, the Internet, and Cybersecurity during a session held in April. The committee heard discussions on several bills focused on data use, data privacy, and cybersecurity.
Kadri, sharing his expertise in these areas, provided insight into the complexities and challenges facing lawmakers as they navigate rapidly evolving technological landscapes. The aim of the session was to gather opinions and advice from various experts to inform potential legislative measures aimed at enhancing data protection and cybersecurity.
Kadri's testimony is part of a broader effort by the Massachusetts legislature to address growing concerns over how data is used and protected. As digital technologies continue to advance, the importance of robust data privacy and cybersecurity measures remains a priority for state lawmakers.
