CITP Luncheon Speaker Series: Mark Hass – Is Data-Driven Marketing a Threat to Personal Liberty and Privacy, or Their Best Protection?

Sherrerd Hall, 3rd floor open space Princeton, NJ, United States

Even though the amount of consumer data being gathered, often surreptitiously, by marketers continues to increase, there is a growing belief that the commercial internet may be the best counter to government use of the internet as a tool of repression. Should consumers and regulators view marketers as Big Brother, Inc. or a bulwark against government tyranny? This talk will explore both points of view.

CITP Luncheon Speaker Series: Dipayan Ghosh – Commercial Privacy in the Digital Age

Sherrerd Hall, 3rd floor open space Princeton, NJ, United States

Shifting norms in privacy are changing the face of our democracy day by day. In fact, people today make frequent agreements involving exchange of their personal data, offering control to other parties for services rendered. During this session, we will focus on how these changing social norms are influencing the way that people, corporations, and governments view, collect, and use data.

CITP Conference: Ethics of Computer Science Research

Frist Multipurpose Rooms A-B

Computer scientists face thorny ethical questions in the course of everyday research: Could my new face detector be misused for racial profiling? Is my web crawler accidentally scooping up sensitive information about people? Inadequate attention to ethics risks undermining public trust; conversely, uncertainty about ethical norms and rules has a chilling effect on science.

This conference will bring together computer scientists and ethics scholars to tackle these questions, acknowledging that traditional research ethics may not easily translate to the new setting. Individual panels will consider ethics in subdisciplines such as data science and computer security, with major themes cutting across panels including how to teach ethics, how to engage with the public and other stakeholders about ethics in research, and what the research community can do to ensure that researchers act ethically.

CITP Luncheon Speaker Series: Brett Bonfield – Assessment, Intellectual Freedom, and the Value of American Public Libraries

Sherrerd Hall, 3rd floor open space Princeton, NJ, United States

In 2014, Brett Bonfield published an article, primarily for the benefit of other librarians, that summarized his take on the state of assessment in American public libraries: “How well are you doing your job? You don’t know. No one does.” Because public libraries generally cost tax payers less than most other publicly funded agencies and they are generally better liked, libraries tend to avoid the kind of scrutiny given to education, health care, public safety and other public goods. Perhaps this is one of the reasons libraries have not yet been forced to reach a consensus around the aspects of well-being they should foster or how to assess their success in promoting positive outcomes for their members. These questions are further complicated by libraries’ abiding commitment to intellectual freedom and to each library user’s right to privacy and confidentiality, core beliefs that challenge public libraries’ ability to collect and analyze data.
