Privacy in Statistical Analysis @ London
May 3 @ 9:30 am – 6:00 pm
Privacy in Statistical Analysis @ London | England | United Kingdom

Recent years have seen the idea of Big Data come to prominence: the collection and analysis of very large data sets, used in a wide range of application areas. Many such data sets, in their raw form, contain personal or sensitive information about individuals, raising privacy concerns. These concerns have given rise to new topics in statistical methodology. which aim to combat this issue. This workshop takes the opportunity to take a wide view on all aspects of “privacy and security in statistics”. At present, differential privacy is probably the largest area to tackle these questions and is quite established, but there are other complementary relevant emerging areas.

This full day workshop, organised jointly between the Emerging Applications Section of the Royal Statistical Society and the Statistics section, Imperial College London, will cover the following areas.

  • Differential privacy for preserving data privacy in the outputs of analysis
  • Issues around anonymity and anonymisation of raw data
  • Cryptographic security using recent encryption schemes with homomorphic properties
  • Building statistical models encrypted

We welcome attendees from academia, industry and governmental organisations.

This event is co-organised by:

Additionally, we are very grateful for sponsorship from the Data Science Institute, Imperial College London.

Data Ownership: A data protection perspective (Prof. Dr. Gloria. Gonzàlez Fuster) @ Brussels
May 5 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Data Ownership: A data protection perspective (Prof. Dr. Gloria. Gonzàlez Fuster) @ Brussels | Bruxelles | Bruxelles | Belgium

Lunchtime Lecture Data ownership: A data protection perspective
5 May 2017 Lisbon Conference Room, Lower Ground Floor
Institute for European Studies, VUB
5 Pleinlaan, 1050, Brussel

The notion of data ownership is surfacing more and more frequently in discussions about data policies, in particular at European level. As different types of knowledge production, the economy, and even our societies as such are increasingly portrayed as being ‘data-driven’, the issue of who can decide what happens to data (and with data) has become critical.

This event will explore data ownership from the perspective of European personal data protection. It will consider questions such as: Are data subject rights a manifestation of any ‘ownership’ of personal data? How can such rights be reconciled with other concomitant types of ‘ownerships’, if any? Does the understanding of this notion vary in other legal frameworks? And what are the fundamental rights implications of these discussions?

12.00-12.30 Arrival and lunch
12:30-13:30 Lecture ‘Data ownership: A data protection perspective’, by Prof. Dr. Gloria González Fuster 13:30-14:00: Open discussion.

The event is free to attend, but registration is required.

May 9 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
CITP Luncheon Speaker Series: Tiffany Li – Privacy and Intellectual Property Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence @ Princeton | Princeton | New Jersey | United States

Date: Tuesday, May 9, 2017
Time: 12:30 p.m.
Location: 306 Sherrerd Hall

No RSVP required from current Princeton faculty, staff, and students. Open to members of the public by invitation only. Please contact Jean Butcher at [email protected] if you are interested in attending a particular lunch.

Move over, Big Data. The rise of artificial intelligence is now the leading issue pushing forward novel lines of legal reasoning in privacy and intellectual property law. On a fundamental level, both privacy and intellectual property share the same realm of concern: information – what it is, who can own it, and what the law can and should allow individuals, businesses, and governments to do with it. If AI “creates” intellectual property, who should be able to own it? Can private information used to train machine learning models be retroactively de-identified? What implications does the concept of sentient artificial intelligence have on how we understand information and laws that govern it? This luncheon presentation will explore the privacy and intellectual property law issues relating to artificial intelligence, both now and in the future. Science fiction fans welcome.
