Privacy Prompter
The Privacy Prompter: Elevating Human Judgment in AI-Driven Reviews Proposed by Eduardo Ortiz, CIPT
Background
In a recent classification analysis, AI (Copilot) helped complete a task in 2 hours that would typically take 20–30 hours. This experience inspired the creation of the “Privacy Prompter” role: a new way to think about how privacy professionals engage with AI tools.
What is a Privacy Prompter?
A Privacy Prompter is a subject matter expert who:
- Prompts: Knows the right privacy questions to ask and guides AI to consult the correct taxonomies, standards, and policies.
- Validates: Critically assesses AI-generated outputs for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with business context.
- Escalates: Identifies when human judgment is needed and ensures appropriate follow-up.
Why It Matters
- Consistency: AI applies the same logic every time, reducing reviewer variability.
- Speed: Reviewers spend less time searching for guidance and more time applying judgment.
- Scalability: New reviewers can ramp up faster by learning how to prompt and validate.
- Auditability: Prompts and responses can be logged for traceability.
Next Steps
- Encourage use of agentic tools and gather feedback.
- Document repeatable prompt patterns and validation tips.
- Draft a “Privacy Prompter Playbook.”
- Propose updates to SOPs to reflect this model.
Quote from a fellow privacy pro
“Shifting reviewers into the role of ‘Privacy Prompters’ is both smart and actionable. Framing the role around prompting, validating, and escalating aligns perfectly with how AI should support, not replace, human judgment.”
