International scientific conference:
Big Data: New Challenges for Law and Ethics
We invite paper proposals from scholars across the social sciences and humanities studying big data challenges for law and ethics.
Amongst many other fields, social and crime control in particular have become one of the key emerging use cases of "big data". For example, police predictive software produce probability reports on criminality and assure us that by using this, societies will reduce crime. Other programs are looking for patterns that would help us predict a terrorist attack. Criminal justice systems are using technological solution too, for instance, to predict future crimes of those applying for bail or those to be sent on a parole. Underlying these and many other potential uses of big data in crime control, however, are a series of legal and ethical challenges relating to, among other things to privacy, discrimination, and presumption of innocence.
Keynote speakers (also):
- Professor Dean Wilson, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK
- Assist. Professor Nadya Purtova, TILT, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
- Assoc. Professor Joanna J. Bryson, University of Bath, UK, and affil. at The Center for Information Technology Policy, Princeton University, USA
- Professor Renata Salecl, Institute of Criminology at the Faculty of Law, Slovenia
- dr. Matej Kovačič, The Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Themes of interest include (tentative list):
- big data and crime control
