Who Owns the Data?

Presented by CITRIS, in partnership with Inria and EIT ICT Labs, “Who Owns the Data?” will bring together data scientists, entrepreneurs, and representatives of public agencies, advocacy organizations, and the private sector from the United States and Europe.

As countless social, commercial and civic transactions are rapidly moving to online platforms, and sensors in our houses, cars, and mobile devices send endless streams of data to servers around the world, discussions of “Big Data” have become commonplace. But what happens to the information once it leaves our fingertips or pockets? How are the data being used, who benefits, and what role do individual contributors of data play --wittingly or unwittingly-- in the revenue models that sustain the systems?

Speakers at "Who Owns the Data?" will engage in a lively discussion of current considerations of individual agency, private gain, and public benefit in the rapidly expanding digital world.

The event includes a combination of keynote addresses, lightning talks and panel discussions. Additional speakers to be announced.
