Among the winning papers are "Authoritarian Privacy" by Mark Jia from Georgetown University Law Center, "The Great Scrape: The Clash between Scraping And Privacy" by Daniel J. Solove and George Washington University Law School and Woodrow Hartzog, "Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who's the Fairest of Them All?" by Alice Xiang from Sony Group Corporation and Sony AI, "The Overton Window and Privacy Enforcement" by Alicia Solow-Niederman from George Washington University Law School, and "Personhood Credentials: Artificial intelligence and the value of privacy-preserving tools to distinguish who is real online" by Steven Adler, et al.

The ceremony will provide winners with the opportunity to showcase their work and have conversations with discussants, including James Cooper, Jennifer Huddleston, and Brenda Leong. FPF believes technology and data can benefit society and improve lives if the right laws, policies, and rules are in place. The event aims to bring together academics, civil society, government officials, and industry to evaluate the societal, policy, and legal implications of data use, identify the risks, and develop appropriate protections.
