Digital Equity and Individual Rights in the Age of Big Data

Thursday, April 10, 2014

Session Description

Business, government, and civil society are all looking at big data, often combined with social media and mobile communications tools, as the new “holy grail” to better sell products, deliver services, or engage people to solve problems. Data and communication tools can empower new approaches to longstanding social problems, such as detecting disease outbreaks or disaster relief. Yet, new uses of data create many questions around privacy, ethics, and digital exclusion. Come explore how to maximize the “good” promise of the data revolution for social change while managing its potential downsides.
