CITP Luncheon Speaker Series: Kiel Brennan-Marquez – Plausible Cause

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

In many cases, plausibility and probability overlap. An inference that accounts for observed facts is often likely to be true, and vice versa. But there is an important sub-set of cases in which the two properties pull apart, raising deep questions about the underpinnings of Fourth Amendment suspicion: inferences generated by predictive algorithms. In this Article, I argue that casting suspicion in terms of plausibility, rather than probability, is both more consistent with established law and crucial to the Fourth Amendment’s normative integrity.

CITP Luncheon Speaker Series: Yan Shvartzshnaider – Learning Privacy Expectations by Crowdsourcing Contextual Informational Norms

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

Designing programmable privacy logic frameworks that correspond to social, ethical, and legal norms has been a fundamentally hard problem. The theory of Contextual integrity (CI) (Nissenbaum 2010) offers a model for conceptualizing privacy that is able to bridge technical design with ethical, legal, and policy approaches. While CI is capable of capturing the various components of contextual privacy in theory, it is challenging to discover and formally express these norms in operational terms. This talk will discuss our work in designing a framework for crowdsourcing privacy norms based on the theory of contextual integrity.
