About the event.
Privacy laws are sweeping the world. Here in the US, several states have passed privacy statutes and Congress is considering a federal law. In this lecture Professor Solove, one of the nation’s leading privacy law scholars, will argue that the recent legislative efforts are taking a dead-end approach.
The laws focus on providing individuals with rights to control their data. In so doing, they put too much onus on individuals who lack the time and expertise to exercise the rights provided to them, and they fail to account for privacy’s systemic and social dimensions. After diagnosing the problem and dismantling some of the recent privacy laws’ most popular elements, Professor Solove will offer a path forward.
To protect privacy in today’s age of Big Data, algorithms, and AI, privacy law must take a radical new direction.
