Overview

Differential privacy is a principled approach to sharing insights about groups, without revealing personal data about individuals. In this talk, we will explain what differential privacy is about, provide a high-level intuition of how it works, and explain what kind of problems it can solve. We will then present a case study from our work with the Internal Revenue Service, to provide a concrete example of a real-world deployment of this approach. We will then conclude by giving a brief overview of our work towards making it easier for anyone to use and deploy differential privacy.
