SUMMARY:Data Privacy Protection and the Conduct of Applied Research: Methods\, Approaches and their Consequences | NBER
DESCRIPTION:Rapid improvements in computational power and coincident increases in the amount of data on individuals and firms that is publicly available or can be purchased at a nominal cost have created new challenges for protecting the privacy of survey responses and administrative data. By combining such data with information from external sources\, it is increasingly possible to breach the anonymity of individuals and businesses and their characteristics. Such breaches can violate the strong privacy protections statistical agencies and other data providers are required or pledge to uphold. Statistical agencies\, such as the U.S. Census Bureau\, have responded by adopting new disclosure avoidance systems\, including model-based synthetic data methods and methods based on the criterion known as differential privacy. \nAll of these methods\, as well as those that have been used in the past\, face an inevitable trade-off between data accuracy and protecting the privacy of individuals and firms.  There has been substantial research on the extent to which these approaches protect privacy and on the accuracy of the data that results from their application.  Less attention has been paid to issues such as (a) the implications of using these data for conducting applied research and for estimation and inference\, (b) quantifying the actual disclosure risks of alternative disclosure avoidance methods and how individuals\, firms and society value these risks; and (c) how to best align the data needs for applied research with the obligations to protect privacy. \nTo provide new insights on the use of privacy-protected data in empirical research\, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)\, with the support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation\, is launching a new research project.  The project\, headed by Ruobin Gong (Rutgers University)\, V. Joseph Hotz (Duke University and NBER)\, and Ian Schmutte (University of Georgia)\, will promote interactions among researchers from computer science\, data science\, economics\, statistics\, and other fields who will present their research at two conferences\, one to be held in Cambridge on May 4-5\, 2023\, and the other in Washington\, DC\, in late 2023 or early 2024. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Protecting Civil Rights in the World of Automated Employment Decisions Tickets\, Tue\, Jan 24\, 2023 at 12:00 PM | Eventbrite
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, companies are implementing new worker selection procedures at every stage of recruitment and employment\, often in ways that can reinforce pre-existing disparities in the job market. But employers and vendors are rarely transparent about how these tools are used\, making it difficult to detect how they can discriminate against workers\, and to implement the necessary safeguards to protect against harm. \nTo help policymakers\, employers\, and vendors address these issues\, the Civil Rights Standards for 21st Century Employment Selection Procedures present a framework for greater accountability for use of modern methods to evaluate workers. The Civil Rights Standards represent the work of a coalition of civil rights\, social justice\, and tech policy organizations to provide a strong\, civil-rights-focused roadmap for employment decision-making processes. \nJoin us on January 24 as representatives from this coalition discuss what the Civil Rights Standards are and why they are needed in the increasingly automated world of employment decisions. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Responsible Computing Challenge – A Pre-Launch Webinar (United States) | Eventbrite
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \nFrom the news stories we read to accessing information about our personal health\, our everyday lives are shaped by technology. Indeed\, technology creates new forms of positive connection and creativity\, but it also gives rise to new challenges that can negatively affect society and disproportionately impact communities of color and marginalized groups. Today\, educators\, technologists\, scholars\, and activists across disciplines grapple with issues like digital surveillance\, automated discrimination\, recommendation systems that promote misinformation\, and inequitable access to technology. It is not enough to just acknowledge these challenges. We need to actively address them. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Lindsey Felt: Art\, AI\, and Disability Futures | Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Lindsey D. Felt will introduce a framework that locates disability innovation\, artistry\, and crip politics as central to the development of AI and technology. From M Eifler’s Prosthetic Memory to Paola Prestini’s Sensorium Ex\, these examples of AI art highlight the erasures of disability from training data and refuse AI’s optimization against disability. Historically\, technologies have been designed to diagnose\, rehabilitate\, normalize\, and even cure disabilities. Though this approach has arguably improved the quality of life for many disabled people\, it codes disability as an “undesirable” and “outlier” trait\, operating on the false premise of a “norm” that is not reflective of the human condition’s heterogeneity. Researchers have demonstrated how machine learning tools are mirroring this trajectory\, from autonomous vehicles that don’t recognize wheelchair users\, to Natural Language Processing models that classify texts mentioning disability as more “toxic.” These biases are equally important to consider alongside racial and gender inequities for their wide-ranging social implications. \n[…]

SUMMARY:INFORMED: Conversations on Democracy in the Digital Age | Knight Foundation
DESCRIPTION:INFORMED brings together key leaders and experts to engage around the biggest questions at the intersection of technology\, media\, and democracy. \n\nPresented by Knight Foundation\, the gathering will be an important opportunity for policymakers\, researchers and the private sector to discuss the latest trends and research in this emerging field\, while strengthening relationships that lead to more informed policy in the public interest. \nInternet technologies have brought unprecedented social advantages and helped democratize access to information and ideas. However\, in recent years\, these same technologies have also been exploited to mislead\, disenfranchise and undermine democracy. As the internet continues to evolve\, the challenges to an informed citizenry are likely to intensify in years to come. INFORMED will be a critical forum to explore these challenges and viable solutions.

SUMMARY:How "Data Cartels" Mine\, Commodify\, And Sell Our Data: A Talk With Sarah Lamdan | METRO
DESCRIPTION:Join METRO’s Director of Programs and Partnerships\, Davis Erin Anderson\, for a conversation with Sarah Lamdan about Lamdan’s new book\, Data Cartels: The Companies That Control and Monopolize Our Information. \nAbout the book:In our digital world\, data is power. Information hoarding businesses reign supreme\, using intimidation\, aggression\, and force to maintain influence and control. Lamdan brings us into the unregulated underworld of these “data cartels\,” demonstrating how the entities mining\, commodifying\, and selling our data and informational resources perpetuate social inequalities and threaten the democratic sharing of knowledge. \nLamdan contends that privatization and tech exceptionalism have prevented us from creating effective legal regulation. This in turn has allowed oversized information oligopolies to coalesce. In addition to specific legal and market-based solutions\, Lamdan calls for treating information like a public good and creating digital infrastructure that supports our democratic ideals. \nAbout the author:Sarah Lamdan is a Professor of Law. She teaches administrative law\, environmental law\, data privacy\, information access\, and government transparency courses. Before teaching law\, Lamdan was a librarian in academic and private libraries.

SUMMARY:Cuidado Digital: Reproductive Rights\, Abortion\, and Digital Networks of Care in Latin America | Data & Society 
DESCRIPTION:Reproductive rights activists in Latin America have long fought for reproductive freedom\, including some significant battles won. With the recent repeal of Roe v. Wade in the US\, the “green wave” — a color associated with the movement for safe and legal abortion that started in Argentina and spread to the rest of the continent – has reached American shores\, bringing with it debates about bodily autonomy and\, in an increasingly datafied landscape\, ownership of personal reproductive information. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Hidden Harms: How Student Activity Monitoring Increases Risk of Discipline and Police Contact | Center for Democracy and Technology
DESCRIPTION:Join CDT\, CLASP\, and I Vote for Me for a conversation on how monitoring programs increase disciplinary action and law enforcement contact. \nDate: November 17\, 2022\nTime: 2 PM – 3 PM EST \n** Recording here. \nIn recent years\, a number of stories have come out related to how student activity monitoring has been used for disciplinary purposes in schools across the United States. Much of this reporting has also shed light on how these tools bring students into unwanted contact with law enforcement. While these programs pose a risk to learners of all backgrounds\, research has indicated that students from historically marginalized communities are more likely to be harmed by software for surveillance. \nHow can policymakers\, as well as administrators\, reverse this trend and support all learners? Elizabeth Laird and Cody Venzke of CDT\, as well as Clarence Okoh of the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) and Lorraine Wright of I Vote for Me\, will explore how safeguards can be put into place to make school safer for students of all backgrounds. We hope you will join this vital conversation. \n\n\n[…]

SUMMARY:Wastewater Surveillance Technology: Health\, Social\, and Ethical Perspectives | Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Can AI be a Force for Global Public Health? \nFrom the Covid-19 pandemic to more recent outbreaks of Monkeypox and Poliovirus\, wastewater surveillance technologies and their data have demonstrated the potential to become supporting tools used in steering states and governmental efforts worldwide\, in predicting and tracking disease outbreaks. These tools are also being used to manage the spread of infectious diseases and their variants\, as well as institutional decision-making on the distribution of health resources\, including testing and vaccines. However\, with the promise of new technologies comes their associated pitfalls and risks. Not considering these challenges can deeply erode public trust\, trigger detrimental societal effects\, and violate rights and liberties. \n[…]

SUMMARY:2022 HAI Fall Conference on AI in the Loop: Humans in Charge | Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Human-in-the-loop artificial intelligence generally refers to AI where humans are involved at various points throughout the research\, design\, training\, testing or decision making process. During this conference\, we hope to challenge participants to rethink this phrase and consider a future where humans remain at the center of all AI technologies. AI should effectively communicate and collaborate with people to augment their capabilities and make their lives better and more enjoyable. Humans are not simply “in-the-loop.” Humans are in charge; AI is “in-the-loop.” \nMore information about speakers and registration will be added shortly.

SUMMARY:The Scarlet E: Balancing Eviction Record Sealing and Data Access | New America
DESCRIPTION:In the last few years\, at least eight states have passed eviction record sealing laws\, and eviction sealing legislation is being considered in several other cities and states across the country. These laws protect tenants by limiting the ability of tenant screening companies to access eviction filing data and sell it to landlords\, locking tenants – even those who ultimately had their eviction cases dismissed – out of future housing opportunities. \nAt the same time\, eviction sealing laws can obscure access to court records\, which are the primary data source for tracking evictions and informing policies to prevent them. \nJoin the Future of Land and Housing Program at New America to discuss the wave of eviction record sealing legislation gaining traction across the country\, and hear from local stakeholders at the forefront of finding ways to preserve access to court data for the public good while still protecting tenants.

SUMMARY:85th Annual Meeting | Association for Information Science and Technology
DESCRIPTION:Information plays a pivotal role for the good of society. However\, we live in an information environment where the lines between true and false\, and interest-driven and balanced content are blurred. This\, coupled with the constant information overload\, places enormous demands on people. With the United Nations having declared the information situation around the Corona pandemic an “infodemic”\, and with a flood of misinformation and disinformation\, there is a great need to create a resilient information environment for the future. Integrity\, quality\, and reliability are critical factors in making information an asset rather than a liability to society. \nWith its unique focus on information\, people\, and technology\, information science is at the forefront of conceptualizing\, developing\, and implementing solutions for a future information environment that not only reacts to crises\, but also helps protect society from future information crises. Quality information can play a central role in helping people spring back after crises but also in dealing with or averting them. \nAs the premier international conference in the field\, the ASIS&T Annual Meeting is a forum to assist in addressing these issues as we continue to push forward the positive contributions of information and technology. \nThe 2022 ASIS&T Annual Meeting will be a fully in-person meeting without virtual attendance or presentation options. There will be satellite events (poster sessions and workshops) that will be held virtually in early October prior to the Annual Meeting.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Selective Attention: Interventions into the Computational Gaze" | Annenberg
DESCRIPTION:Algorithms and computation are driving more and more of our daily decision-making processes than ever before. The digital\, in many ways\, can almost be considered a filter: guiding the choices we make and the opportunities we are allowed to see\, rendering certain practices hypervisible and “natural” while obscuring others. \nThis exhibition features three artists with deep connections to Philadelphia\, who surface tensions between what is visible to the computer eye and what we are able to see and interpret as human beings. The work asks the viewer to consider how the intervention of the digital into practices that have traditionally centered human vision changes the way we see\, interpret and understand — and\, by the same token\, what could be possible if humans insisted on claiming their own gaze within processes that attempt to exclude them altogether. \nThis exhibition was organized by Roopa Vasudevan\, Annenberg PhD candidate and Center for Media at Risk Steering Committee member. \n\n\n\n[…]

SUMMARY:Big Brother Meets Bedlam: Resisting Mental Health Surveillance Tech | Center for Democracy and Technology
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, the FDA approved Abilify MyCite\, a psychotropic medication that tracks whether a person has actually taken their pills and can send that data to their doctor. Policymakers routinely advocate for expanding and increasing surveillance over and institutionalisation of people with mental health disabilities. \nThe growing use of predictive policing tools and other surveillance technologies at school\, at home\, and in the workplace has led to a rush among researchers and developers to create new algorithms that can even assess or predict a diagnosis of mental illness. People with psychosocial disabilities have long advocated for self-determination\, community-based services and treatment\, and resistance to surveillance as a means of exercising paternalistic control or advancing public safety. \n\n\n[…]
