NOTICE:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, “Technological Due Process Revisited” will not take place on Monday February 10th. It will be rescheduled for a later date. The afternoon workshop on public sector data literacy will go on as planned.

For the past twelve years, the law review essay "Technological Due Process" has served as the intellectual foundation for the legal implications of government automation. In 2008 Danielle Keats Citron of Boston University questioned how to maintain procedural protections in computerized systems. Predictive analytics, behavioral economics, and evidence-based policy dominate our interactions with the public sector today. Where are we now and what does the future hold? Anne L. Washington invites Professor Citron to NYU along with top legal scholars Deirdre K. Mulligan from University of California Berkeley and Karen Yeung from University of Birmingham. Together the panel will consider the implications of automating the law and automating regulation from US and global perspectives.

This is the first part of two-part reflection on the practical and philosophical aspects of implementing public policy within data-driven environments. Government professionals are often left behind technology trends and the move towards data-driven culture is no different. This event intends to bridge that gap. Following this morning panel, the afternoon workshop “Data Literacy in the Public Sector” is an interactive workshop for government professionals. This program is partially funded by the National Science Foundation. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. This Government Data Technology Day is the education and outreach portion of Dr. Washington's NSF CAREER grant on open government data.

The event is free but requires registration. Space is limited.

The space is wheelchair accessible.
