Professor Luciano Floridi, one of the five members of Google’s Advisory Board on “the right to be forgotten,” will address the recent debate on that topic within a broader interpretation of the impact that information and communication technologies have on our self-understanding, our social interactions, and our conceptualization of the world.
Floridi is Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of Information at the University of Oxford, where he is the Director of Research of the Oxford Internet Institute. He has held the UNESCO Chair in Information and Computer Ethics, and in 2012 he was the Chairman of the E.U. Commission’s “Onlife Initiative.” He is the author of numerous books, including The Fourth Revolution – How the Infosphere is Reshaping Human Reality (2014), The Ethics of Information (2013), and The Philosophy of Information (2011).

Scholars, stakeholders, and policymakers question the adequacy of existing mechanisms governing algorithmic decision-making and grapple with new challenges presented by the rise of algorithmic power in terms of transparency, fairness, and equal treatment. Algorithms increasingly shape our news, economic options, and educational trajectories. The centrality and concerns about algorithmic decision making have only increased since we hosted the Governing Algorithms conference in May 2013. This event will build upon that conversation to address legal, policy and ethical challenges related to algorithmic power in three specific contexts: media production and consumption, commerce, and education.
Organized by the Information Law Institute, NYU School of Law, it is cosponsored by NYU Steinhardt Department of Media, Culture and Communications, the Intel Science & Technology Center for Social Computing and Microsoft.
