Privacy in the Digital Age: Who Benefits from the Data Economy?
16. Juni 2016 / 18:00 - 20:00
| FreeKeynote from Prof. Alessandro Acquisti
Alessandro Acquisti is a Professor of Information Technology and Public Policy at the Heinz College, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and an Andrew Carnegie Fellow (inaugural class). He is the director of the Peex (Privacy Economics Experiments) lab at CMU and the co-director of CMU CBDR (Center for Behavioral and Decision Research).
His research interests lie at the overlap of information technology, society, and economics. They include, primarily, the economics and behavioral economics of privacy and information security, and privacy in online social networks. Prof. Acquisti interested in the economic impact of privacy protection and privacy intrusions, the relations between privacy and economic rationality, and the dichotomy between expressed privacy attitudes and actual revealed behavior.
Abstract of Professor Acquisti’s keynote speech:
In the recent policy debate over privacy, the protection of personal information is often set against the benefits society is expected to gain from large scale analytics. We know from big data technology. Or in other words: Is there a trade-off between the protection of individual rights and the welfare of a society?
In this talk, I will use results from both empirical and theoretical economic research, as well as from behavioral economics, to scrutinize this notion. In particular, I will highlight how current research findings paint a much more nuanced, and interesting, picture regarding the economic impact of data sharing and data protection on both individual and societal wellbeing.
