Data Act published for public consultation

The Commission has now published the Data Act (and the Chips Act) for public consultation - Deadline is 9 May 2022.

This initiative, known as the ‘Data Act’, aims to facilitate access to and use of data, including business-to business and business-to-government, and to review the rules on the legal protection of databases. It seeks the right balance between rights to access data and incentives to invest in data, without changing the current data protection rules.

All interested in writing a response are welcome to join a MyData statement!

Datenherrschaft – an Ethically Justified Solution to the Problem of Ownership of Patient Information

A PhD thesis on (health) data ownership: It can be stated that digital information is irremovable part of modern healthcare. However, the legal ownership of patient information lacks a coherent and justified basis. The whole issue itself is actually bypassed by controlling patient information with different laws and regulations how patient information can be used and by whom. Nonetheless, the issue itself – who owns the patient information – is commonly missed or bypassed.

Datenherrschaft – uma solução eticamente justificada para o problema da propriedade sobre informações de pacientes

Uma tese de PhD sobre propriedade de dados (de saúde): Pode-se afirmar que a informação digital é parte irremovível dos cuidados médicos hoje em dia. No entanto, a propriedade legal sobre as informações de pacientes ainda não tem uma base coerente e justificada. A questão é contornada através do controle de informações dos pacientes com diferentes leis e regulações sobre como e por quem essas informações podem ser utilizadas. No entanto, essa questão - quem tem a propriedade sobre as informações dos pacientes - é comumente deixada de lado.

Como proteger a privacidade em uma sociedade 'dataficada'? (38 pages)

Personal Data Gentrification (Paper, 9p)

Individuals have undergone a process of Personal Data Gentrification, as data ownership has shifted from individuals to service providers and data consumers, as if the data is worth nothing to the individuals; these new owners then harness the data to obtain large profits. In this paper, we propose Personal Data Enfranchisement as a middle ground, empowering individuals to control the sharing of their personal information to shift the business flows of personal information. Based on these insights, we propose a model to gradually and incrementally make a shift from our current situation towards one of Personal Data Enfranchisement.

Gentrificação de dados pessoais (Artigo)

Indivíduos tem passado por um processo de Gentrificação de Dados Pessoais, enquanto a propriedade de dados foi passada dos indivíduos para os provedores de serviços e consumidores de dados, como se os dados não valessem nada para os indivíduos; esses novos donos então aproveitam esses dados para obter grandes lucros. Nesse artigo, nós propomos o "Enfranchisement" de Dados Pessoais como uma posição intermediária, empoderando os indivíduos para que eles controlem o compartilhamento de suas informações pessoais para alterar os fluxos de negócios de informações pessoais. Com base nesses insights, nós propomos um modelo para uma transição entre a situação atual e o "Enfranchisement" de Dados Pessoais de forma gradual.

Teorizando sobre mercados de dados pessoais na Era do Capitalismo Comunicativo

Nesse artigo nós nos concentramos na cada vez mais popular crítica libertária/pró-mercado que propõe o controle individual, propriedade e a habilidade de transformar seus dados em commodities como uma forma de responder aos esquemas de extração, derivação e exploração de dados conduzidos pelas empresas. Nós criticamos as afirmações de que os mercados de dados pessoais contrabalançam o capitalismo corporativo digital em duas instâncias: em primeiro lugar, esses mercados não funcionam economicamente e portanto são incapazes de responder aos aspectos exploratórios do capitalismo de vigilância. Em segundo lugar, a noção dos mercados de dados pessoais funciona ideologicamente porque ela reduz a crítica do capitalismo de vigilância à exploração de consumidores, mascarando o real objetivo de "capitalistas de dados" como Google, Facebook, Amazon e Apple de não (apenas) explorar o público, mas de criar mundos que criam públicos.

Theorising Personal Data Markets in the Age of Communicative Capitalism

In this article, we focus on the increasingly popular market-libertarian critique that proposes individual control, ownership, and ability to commodify one’s personal data as an answer to corporate data extraction, derivation and exploitation schemes. We critique the claims that personal data markets counterbalance corporate digital capitalism on two grounds. First, these markets do not work economically and therefore are unable to address the exploitative aspect of surveillance capitalism. Second, the notion of personal data markets functions ideologically because it reduces the critique of surveillance capitalism to the exploitation of consumers and conceals the real objective of data capitalists such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple to not (just) exploit audiences but to create worlds that create audiences.

Uma democracia de dados vem com o controle individual dos dados

Em nosso novo livro (setembro de 2021), analisamos a crescente tendência de armazenamento de dados pessoais ou intermediários de dados pessoais, ajudando os indivíduos a assumir o controle e a se empoderarem com seus dados. Se quisermos criar uma sociedade justa e igualitária, chamamos isso de democracia de dados, nem o Estado nem as grandes empresas devem controlar nossos dados - e, portanto, nossas vidas. Isto não significa que o Estado ou as empresas não se baseiem em alguns de nossos dados. Mas você que conduz e mantém o controle de seu perfil completo.

Data Rentiership and the Policy Implications

Unlike innovation that delivers new products, services, and markets, innovation as rentiership is defined by the extraction and capture of value through different modes of ownership and control over resources and assets. This shift towards rentiership is evident in the transformation of personal digital data into a private asset. In light of this assetization, it is necessary to unpack how innovation itself might be a problem, rather than a solution to a range of global challenges.

[Intermediate] Why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Matter for Nonprofits

For some organizations, simply doing what is right may be enough to spur action. Others may be moved by data showing that diversity can boost the quality of decision-making and that a diverse workplace can encourage people to be “more creative, more diligent, and harder-working.” Studies have also shown that a more diverse staff can foster enhanced innovation. And when board members, employees, donors, and others who shape the values and activities of a nonprofit come from a wide array of backgrounds, they bring unique perspectives that influence how the nonprofit approaches its mission in more inclusive and innovative ways.

Principles for Revenue Models of Data Stewardship

One of the biggest concerns, given data is an intangible and valuable asset, is how business models can be structured so that stewards remain incentivized to serve the interests of individuals and communities, and do not use the data for their own ends. Data is a complex resource, and to understand potential revenue models of a steward, this paper studies resources or assets which embody the complexity of data and the accompanying ethical issues of protection.

Democratizing Our Data: A Manifesto

This crowdsourced repository of projects aims to recognise the efforts of automatisation and digitalisation in cities, and become a focus point for researchers, local policymakers, and the public interested in AI.

We are currently gathering the projects that will feed the Atlas, and that is why we would like to ask you to fill this form with your local projects. It will only take you 10 minutes to complete the form (please, fill one form for each project), and your project will be displayed in an online ATLAS alongside other cities’ projects that are implementing AI in a principled and rights-based way.

What’s your first reaction to the twin claims that super-human, bias-free AI (let alone AGI) is not a) morally optimal nor b) possible? (The two claims are separate but linked. The issue at hand is whether we should try to get rid of bias and hence: a) is it morally imperative to get rid of bias and b) is it even possible to get rid of it.)
