Episode Synopsis

This week on PatchPerfect, we start with a quick AI update on Google’s “Nano Banana Pro” and why it’s more interesting as a thinking partner than just another image generator. Then I sit down with Canadian lawyer and privacy expert Neil Proudfoot to talk about what privacy really means in 2025. Views expressed on this show are his own.Neil explains how modern AI systems collect and learn from personal data, and why global regulation is splitting into two very different philosophies: Europe’s rights-first model and America’s innovation-first approach. We also unpack Law 25, Canada’s strongest privacy law to date, and what Canadians should know before trusting any AI tool with their data. Plus, Neil shares his simple A-D-S framework for evaluating privacy: Autonomy, Dignity, and Safety.In the lifestyle segment, we chat with Neil about how he’s staying grounded as a new dad.If you care about protecting your data, using AI more intentionally, and understanding how regulation is shaping the future of technology, this episode will leave you feeling clearer and more empowered.
