„Privacy at the Intersection of Ethics and Technology“
15. Juli 2016 / 18:00 - 20:00
Keynote by Prof Helen Nissenbaum
Welche Gefahren birgt die digitale Technologie für die Privatsphäre?
Dieser Frage wird Professor Helen Nissenbaum in ihrem Vortrag beim Munich Center for Internet Research (MCIR) am 14. Juli nachgehen.
Frau Nissenbaum ist Professorin für Medien, Kultur, Kommunikationswissenschaften und Informatik an der New York University.
Die Sammlung von Daten und der Einsatz von Überwachungstechnologien gefährden nicht nur die Privatsphäre jedes Einzelnen, sondern auch die Integrität gesellschaftlicher Bereiche wie Gesundheitswesen, Bildung oder die Familie. In ihrem Vortrag wird Professor Nissenbaum dem Konzept der kontextuellen Integrität und seinem Einfluss auf Regulierung und Technologiedesign nachgehen und im Anschluss mit einem Expertenpanel diskutieren. Gäste für die Diskussion sind unter anderem Professor Filipovic von der Hochschule für Philosophie München und Assistenzprofessor Jens Grossklags vom PennState College of Information Sciences and Technology.
Die Veranstaltung können Sie auch im Livestream verfolgen und sich per Live-Chat mit Fragen und Thesen in die Diskussion einschalten.
English Abstract:
Advances in digital technologies have stirred great anxiety over privacy. Many have tried to pinpoint the threats and have supported protection through public policy and technology design. My lecture will address these issues. It will describe the theory of contextual integrity, which defines privacy as appropriate flow of personal information: technology that facilitates surveillance, data collection, and unfettered distribution threaten privacy because they cause major disruptions in information flow in stark contrast to those we expect. These disruptions are problematic not only because they threaten harm to individual data subjects, but also because they may undermine the integrity of societal contexts, such as, healthcare, education, the family, and democratic citizenship. Contextual integrity challenges dominant approaches to regulation and technology design that place too much emphasis on secrecy and subjects’ control through mechanisms of notice and consent. It argues that these approaches can actually impede privacy protection, urging regulators, researchers, and technology designers to support specific constraints on information flow and use — instead of merely handing off this responsibility to individuals.
