• Mara Balestrini (IDEAS FOR CHANGE)

The main conclusions from the panelists were:

• Our vision of technology is still largely influenced by the Computer of the 21st Century paper, it’s too concerned with the pushing the boundaries of technology without questioning its meaning and role
• Enhance education, especially with a STEAM (STEM + Arts and creativity) approach, so that people can learn to value their data and have more agency and awareness when sharing them with third-parties.
• Sharing data is crucial to solve world problems as the ones identified by the Sustainable Development Goals

The most inspiring outcome from the panel was the focus on new ideas on privacy.

The general feeling is that the GDPR might be a starting-point, but is looking at privacy in a too static way. In a fully connected environment of potential added value to citizens the new term ‘privacies’ was very well received. Privacies can be described as dynamic levels of accountability, levels that can be set according to predefined rules and are in control of the end-user. Such concepts are more easily hard-codable and reflect the new given: privacy in a hybrid world is a process distributed over the environment (smart), a citizen (grown up in the digital), and the objects themselves (dynamic and learning environments themselves).
