      Hi all, we have a really exciting event at Columbia this week, which may be of interest to our community. Description below. Here’s a link to the Eventbrite for RSVPs.

      A Panel Discussion on Secrecy, Privacy and the Public Good

      Government agencies and private corporations possess vast troves of data that can be used to build new businesses, improve governance, and carry out cutting-edge research. But who gets access to this data, and on what terms? What if it threatens intellectual property, individual privacy, or national security? And can research universities remain relevant if, more and more, the best data is proprietary or classified? While open access is usually celebrated as an unmitigated good, it raises issues that challenge us to rethink the politics and ethics of secrecy and citizenship in the digital age.

      Featuring:

      Merit Janow, Dean of SIPA, Columbia University

      Alondra Nelson, Dean of Social Science, Columbia University

      Jesse Berlin, Vice President of Epidemiology, Johnson & Johnson

      Matthew Connelly, Principal Investigator of the Declassification Engine

      Duncan Watts, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research

      Free and Open to the Public
