The Digital Society is remaking the fields of commerce, education, public health, and everything in between. While big data analytics, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things produce ample benefits, they also raise threats of panoptic surveillance and algorithmic determinism. Left unchecked, these forces can erode human dignity, autonomy, privacy, and freedom. Please join the Program on Data and Governance on Wednesday, November 7, as Professor Anita Allen, University of Pennsylvania, delivers a talk on “Intelligence Without Ethics? Holding On To Our Values and Ourselves in the Digital Society.”
Who is responsible for protecting our essential values in an age of information? Professor Allen argues that individuals, corporations, and governments each have distinct ethical obligations to constrain big data practices in the public interest. In the Sidley Austin Distinguished Lecture on Big Data Law and Policy, Professor Allen will explore the moral and legal agendas that can guide society to a future that is not just smart, but also ethical. Expert Commenter Professor Bart van der Sloot, Tilburg University, Netherlands, will comment on Professor Allen’s lecture and share his own, innovative theory on how privacy also requires protection against information about oneself. |
