| 10:30-11:30 | Debate: Should Open Data end where Data protection begins? In an age when interactive technologies such as AR / VR transform our social interactions by redefining our digital identities, how do we protect our personal data online? Data openness and transparency are becoming a growing trend among tech industries and governments in view of creating a more human-centric and open Internet. Furthermore, actions are being taken to restore the users’ trust in the Internet. While international cooperation and decentralization of governance over personal data is thought to give control back to the users, how and when do we consider the openness to be too much? Taking into consideration that companies have recently aligned with GDPR, data protection has to be taken into account at the early stages of creation, or as it is called in tech, “privacy by design”. Companies now have to adapt their policies to two conflicting trends: data openness and protection.Jean-Paul Sartre once said “my freedom ends where the others’ begin”. We ask you, does open data end where data protection begins? Moderator: Marta Arniani, founder of Futuribile / Curating Futures Marta Arniani is a Horizon 2020 and technology social impact expert. She supports ecosystems of stakeholders and individual companies in designing open innovation projects, strategies and events to stay ahead of the digital transformation. Her interests lie in Digital Social Innovation, diversity and ethics in emerging technologies and innovation management. Marta curates a newsletter about tech and innovation social impact, called futuribile / curating futures. |
