New York University’s Information Law Institute and Department of Media, Culture and Communication and the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, are holding a conference on Responsible User of Open Data: Government and the Private Sector at NYU on November 19-20, 2015.
This conference will build on Berkeley’s April 2015 Open Data: Addressing Privacy, Security, and Civil Rights Challenges symposium and will feature Dr. Amen Ra Mashariki, City of New York’s Chief Analytics Officer in charge of the Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics.
The conference will also addresses two related issues. The first is a set of normative challenges associated with the open data movement, including e.g. privacy and other civil liberties, equitable access to data, and what counts as public interest. The second addresses obligations of private/commercial holders of data to make their holdings available for public and research purposes. Panels will include leading thinkers and actors representing a range of perspectives and positions.
Attendance is free of charge but because space is limited registration is required.
