Faiz Ahmed Taiyeb Confirms PDPA Will Classify Personal Data for Local Storage

Government officials want stronger rules for protecting personal information online. Faiz Ahmed Taiyeb works as a special assistant to Bangladesh's technology ministry chief. He spoke at a meeting about new data protection laws. The government plans to separate different types of personal information. Officials will store sensitive data inside Bangladesh rather than overseas.

Personal details that identify people will stay within the country's borders. Health records and financial information can only be used under strict conditions. The government will create clear rules about accessing this private data. Pictures, videos and voice recordings may be stored anywhere through special mapping systems. Critical identification information must remain on computers inside Bangladesh.

New cyber security rules cover all content created with artificial intelligence. The ordinance treats AI-generated material as part of online crime laws. Technology experts want to control how machines create written and visual content. Officials believe stronger oversight will protect citizens from harmful AI use. The rules apply to all artificial intelligence work done in Bangladesh.

Media experts discussed how false information spreads across the country. The Press Institute Bangladesh hosted discussions about fighting fake news. One director said the government created lies during the past 15 years. He believes media companies helped spread false stories to the public. Experts think fact-checking alone cannot stop misinformation campaigns.

Computer specialists presented research about using Bengali language in technology systems. The Bangladesh Computer Council supports projects that promote local language use. Researchers want more Bengali content in digital systems and applications. Officials hope these efforts will help citizens access technology in their native language. The seminar featured presentations from various technology and media experts.
