Ethics and Technology Roundtables II: Who Owns The Future?

Join us for the second installment of the Ethics and Technology Roundtables, where we delve into the pressing ethical dilemmas arising from rapid technological advancements. 🌐✨

Who Owns the Future?

Data, Identity, and Intellectual Property in the Digital Commons
In this roundtable, we will explore the intertwining of ownership and big data, and its implications for public life. Key discussions will focus on:

• The erosion of personal identity
• International data regulation
• The threats posed by artificial intelligence to our collective right to privacy

We will take a critical look at how social media platforms wield influence over public discourse and question the power dynamics in our online world.

Featured Talks:

• “Decentralizing the Digital Public Sphere,” by Prof. Chris Howard
• “Inferred Identities and Privacy: From Personal Control to Collective Protection,” by Dr. Cossette Lefebvre
• “International Regulation Beyond Non-Interference: Data and Domination,” by Radheesh Ameresekere

We invite you to explore the nuances of our digital lives and the rights that are being reshaped from individual to international levels.
