About
As countless social, commercial and civic transactions are rapidly moving to online platforms, and sensors in our houses, cars, and mobile devices send endless streams of data to servers around the world, discussions of “Big Data” have become commonplace. But what happens to the information once it leaves our fingertips or pockets? How are the data being used, who benefits, and what role do individual contributors of data play --wittingly or unwittingly-- in the revenue models that sustain the systems?
Building on successful conferences hosted at CITRIS, such as “Can Open Data Improve Democratic Governance?” (September 2013) and “Pan-Optics: Emerging Perspectives on Visual Privacy and Surveillance” (March 2014), we will convene a one-day public conference regarding data ownership and privacy, in spring 2015. “Who Owns the Data?” will bring together data scientists, elected officials, representatives of public agencies and advocacy organizations, and entrepreneurs from the United States and Europe.
