Upcoming Seminar Series: Alternative Data Governance // Alternative Data Economies
This seminar series is presented by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society, in combination with the Humanising Machine Intelligence project at the Australian National University, and the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics at Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne.
Description: The power of platforms in the digital economy continues to grow. With competition enforcement and legislative action on the horizon, now is the time to reflect on what could be achieved through regulatory action in the information and data economy.
For decades, the information economy has evolved alongside legal regimes that have facilitated the massive collection and processing of data. While reforms have strengthened individual control over personal data, the law has simultaneously reified the relationship of individuals to platforms as 'user’ - a resource to be mined for monetizable data and attention. But what other types of relationships to data and platforms can we imagine and configure?
This four-part seminar series explores alternative strategies for governing data and the digital economy. The goal is to re-invigorate questions of data governance.
Part One: Rethinking Data in the Platform World.
Part Two: Information and Intermediaries in the Data Economy.
Part Three: Disciplining the Market or Being the Market.
Part Four: Data for (Self/Business/Democratic) Governance.
