DataLex – Big Data, Privacy & the Law

Only a few years ago, “Big Data” was a poorly understood buzz-phrase.  Today, across nearly every societal sector, from corrections to education to health care, large-scale data analysis is a widely adopted information practice.  Our most personal behaviors and traits are regularly quantified by a rapidly growing array of sensors and devices around us.  These devices are connected to intelligent systems that render critical predictions about our conduct and choices—what we will buy, our health, when we will leave our jobs, whether we will pay our bills, even whether we will commit crimes.

At the University of California at Santa Cruz’s first-ever DataLex symposium, thought leaders in law, academia, and tech will convene to interrogate these and other emerging legal and ethical challenges arising from the use of Big Data.
