Event details
We are moving towards a world in which data have a life beyond the individual; where the value and potential of data are ever-changing as technological developments bring new possibilities. This immortality of data raises new ethical and societal issues that have not yet been fully articulated, and consequently we are unprepared to deal with. The challenges of dealing with large volumes of personal data are increasingly apparent in many fields of practice, although they may manifest in different ways. Rather than addressing this within the boundaries of our own disciplines a holistic approach is needed that focuses on the commonalities in the issues that arise.
This symposium provides an opportunity to explore the challenges presented by working with big personal data from different perspectives, and stimulate debates about how we might work collaboratively to anticipate, manage and prevent future problems. The presentations and discussions will be used to prepare a summary white paper/symposium briefing document to be disseminated more widely.
This symposium draws together an exciting range of speakers from multiple disciplines and industries, to discuss the following themes:
• Data – what is it, who owns it and does ownership help decide anything?
• Consent – how do we give consent for uncertain future analyses or activities?
• Repurposing – How can we ethically and responsibly use data for purposes beyond its intended use?
There is an increasingly urgent need for engaging across stakeholders and disciplines to communicate concerns and challenges surrounding these questions and building alliances for becoming prepared for the future. Thus, this symposium aims to provide an interactive space to facilitate a dialogue between the panelists and the audience members. We encourage engagement, questions, and comments from the participants to stimulate debate.
