EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Federal Trade Commission will host its third FinTech Forum on March 9, 2017, focusing on the consumer implications of two rapidly developing technologies: artificial intelligence and blockchain.
Artificial intelligence focuses on the capability for machines to mimic human thinking or actions, including learning and problem solving. The technology may be used, for example, to provide personalized financial services for consumers, including providing money management tools.
Blockchain technology involves a distributed digital ledger for recording transactions that can be shared widely. It first emerged as the foundation for digital currency, and it is now being explored for other consumer-focused uses including payment systems and “smart contracts.”
The half-day event is designed to bring together industry participants, consumer groups, researchers, and government representatives, to examine the ways in which these technologies are being used to offer consumers services, the potential benefits, and consumer protection implications as these technologies continue to develop.
In advance of the forum, the FTC will be developing panels of experts, academics and others for the event. If you wish to participate as a panelist, please email any relevant information to [email protected](link sends e-mail) by January 27, 2017.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at the University of California, Berkeley, beginning at 9 a.m. A full schedule and other details will be announced shortly. No pre-registration is needed. This event will be webcast. A link will be posted to this page on the day of the event.
The FinTech Forum series is part of the FTC’s ongoing work to protect consumers taking advantage of new and emerging financial technology. As technological advances expand the ways consumers can store, share, spend, and borrow money, the FTC is working to keep consumers protected while encouraging innovation for consumers’ benefit.
The Federal Trade Commission works to promote competition, and protect and educate consumers. You can learn more about consumer topics and file a consumer complaint online or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357).

The symposium aims to highlight the privacy challenges that online consumers face every day while online. It will feature recent research funded by the OPC’s Contributions Program and examine the key factors—cognitive, contextual, and social—that underlie consumers’ decisions to share their personal information online. It will also explore how programs and policies of governments and businesses can better incorporate these human factors into their design. By bringing together academics, regulators, industry and consumer groups, the symposium will be a forum for creative exchange of ideas on how to address consumer privacy challenges in the online world.
This event has been funded by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC); the views expressed at this event are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect those of the OPC.

IPSI PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES PRESENTS:
Professor Avi Goldfarb
University of Toronto
“Privacy and Innovation”
Information and communication technology enable firms to collect
detailed and potentially intrusive data about their customers both
easily and cheaply. This means that privacy concerns are no longer
limited to government surveillance and public figures’ private lives.
The empirical literature on privacy regulation shows that privacy
regulation may affect the extent and direction of data-based
innovation. We also show that the impact of privacy regulation can be
extremely heterogeneous. Therefore, we argue that digitization means
that privacy policy is now a part of innovation policy.
Avi Goldfarb is the Ellison Professor of Marketing at the Rotman
School of Management, University of Toronto. Avi’s research focuses on
understanding the opportunities and challenges of the digital economy
and has been funded by Google, Industry Canada, the Sloan Foundation,
the NSF, Bell Canada, AIMIA, SSHRC, and others.. He has also used an
economics lens to explore the drivers of brand value and the limits of
rational models of managerial decision-making. He has published over
60 academic articles in a variety of outlets in marketing, statistics,
law, computing, and economics. He is Senior Editor at Marketing
Science, Chief Data Scientist of the Creative Destruction Lab, and a
Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. For
the past two years, he has co-organized the NBER’s Economics of
Digitization PhD student tutorial. He also co-organized the Marketing
Science-Federal Trade Commission Conference on Marketing and Consumer
Protection. His work with Catherine Tucker on privacy has been
referenced by the White House, the European Commission, and in US
Congressional Testimony. His work with Ajay Agrawal and Christian
Catalini on crowdfunding has been identified by the Ontario Security
Commission as directly influencing the OSC LaunchPad initiative. Avi
received his Ph.D. in economics from Northwestern University.

National security, human rights, and the global digital economy are now dependent on cybersecurity. Through a series of four expert panels, the conference will explore cutting-edge US-Israeli cyberpolicy issues involving national security, crime, human rights, and the digital economy. Topics to be discussed include active cyber military operations, Internet freedom, cybertheft, and technological capabilities. Each panel will explore the responsibilities of various governmental agencies as well as the roles of the private sector and the public in each country.
Unlocking the Privacy-Security Debate
March 20, 2017
Event Time:
9:00am – 12:00pm

Terrorism and cybersecurity are two significant national security threats that the global community must deal with in the coming decade. The current approach of mass surveillance and reducing the strength of encryption have questionable and potentially detrimental effects that lead to concerns about the invasion of privacy and undermining freedom and prosperity. Leaders from government, industry, and academia will come together in this open forum to discuss current methods of combating terrorism and cybersecurity threats and the need to establish win-win, positive-sum methods. By addressing these concerns, we can begin the complex and necessary process of simultaneously enhancing security and protecting our privacy.
