W-JAX 2015 Keynote: Big Data, Ethik, Politik und Menschenrechte

Nach 10 Jahren, da Big Data erstmals als Mainstream-Konzept die Runde machte, sind viele Fragen immer noch ungeklärt. Emmanuel Letouzé (Data-Pop Alliance) stellt in dieser Keynote von der W-JAX 2015 den Zusammenhang her zwischen Daten, Ethik, Politik und Menschenrechten.
Die Kernbotschaft: Der derzeitige „Datenanalphabetismus“– also der völlig naive Umgang mit den eigenen Daten und den Daten anderer – muss überwunden werden und einer verantwortungsbewussten Haltung weichen, in der jeder über die Verwendung seiner Daten selbst entscheiden kann.

English Abstract:
Less than a decade after Big Data emerged as a mainstream concept raising both significant excitement and skepticism, and just over two years into the aftermath of Edward Snowden’s revelations about the activities of the US National Surveillance Agency, many hard questions remain to be properly asked and addressed about Big Data’s potential to foster positive social change. Individual privacy is rightfully mentioned in all discussions on the topic, but other ethical and legal aspects are often overlooked; human capacity gaps and “data literacy” needs are thankfully gaining growing attention, but their conceptualization tends to be too narrow; the societal applications and implications of future technological advances are being considered, but history teaches us that they are largely unpredictable and require developing adaptive and inclusive systems. The talk will attempt to place these questions within a coherent conceptual and contextual framework, connecting and contrasting as much as possible their ethical, political and legal dimensions.
