From autocomplete and smart replies to video filters and deepfakes, we increasingly live in a world where communication between humans is augmented by artificial intelligence.
Law and computer science interact in critical ways within sociotechnical systems, and recognition is growing among computer scientists, legal scholars, and practitioners of significant gaps between these disciplines that create potential risks for privacy and data protection.
Open decentralized networking is a decades-old dream, the fabric enabling open, uncensored, global communication.
Our networks were not designed with privacy in mind, but protecting the privacy of network communications is critical for free and open communication in a democratic society.
Virtual reality (VR) technologies have never been more accessible. The utopian vision of accessibility is that it has a democratizing effect; however, when companies monetize their technology, the trade-off is often privacy.
As modern life increasingly moves online, our ability to understand the impact of the Internet on society has grown critically dependent upon the benevolence of tech platforms.
Will artificial intelligence correct or perpetuate historic discriminatory practices in cities? Will urban heat mitigation strategies and new ecosystem amenities be deployed fairly across all neighborhoods? Will new mobility technologies be accessible to all citizens and localities?
Our current data ecosystem leaves individuals, groups, and society vulnerable to a wide range of harms, ranging from privacy violations to subversion of autonomy to discrimination to erosion of trust in institutions.
