Tehnološki giganti zbirajo naše podatke. Je to razlog za skrb?

Velikana Google in Facebook sta najvidnejša primera nove generacije
podjetij, ki služijo z zbiranjem in obdelovanjem ogromnih količin podatkov o
ljudeh. V predavanju bo pojasnjeno, kaj ta podjetja počnejo in kakšne so
posledice njihovega delovanja. Predstavljen bo tudi zloglasni primer
Cambridge Analytica, s podrobnejšo analizo, kaj se je zgodilo, kako je do
tega prišlo ter kakšne so družbene in etične posledice tega delovanja.
Obravnavali bomo tudi vprašanje, ali zasebnost, kot smo je bili vajeni, še
obstaja in ali zloraba podatkov ogroža demokracijo.

Predavanje bo v angleščini.

Lepo vabljeni!

The tech giants are harvesting your data. Should you care?

 

Technology giants Google and Facebook are the most visible exemplars of a
new generation of business that profit by collecting and exploiting masses
of data on individual citizens. This talk will explain what these companies
do and explore the implications. It will revisit the infamous Cambridge
Analytica case, dissecting what happened and how, as well as the ensuing
social and ethical implications. Amongst other issues, it will discuss
whether the concept of privacy as we have known it is obsolete, and whether
abuses of big data are a major risk to democracy.

 

Cordially invited!
