STeP Talks: The Privacy Fallacy. Harm and Power in the Information Economy

This July STeP Talks is presenting an exciting book presentation, followed by an interesting discussion, on "The Privacy Fallacy. Harm and Power in the Information Economy" written by Ignacio Cofone.

"Our data is besieged by tech companies, leading to hidden AI harms in the information economy. Companies can do this because our laws are built on outdated ideas that trap lawmakers, regulators, and courts into wrong assumptions, resulting in ineffective legal remedies to one of the most pressing concerns of our generation. Drawing on behavioral science, social data science, and economics, Ignacio Cofone challenges existing laws and reform proposals and dispels enduring misconceptions about AI-driven interactions."

During this event, we will have Ignacio Cofone (Research Chair in AI Law & Data Governance at McGill University Faculty of Law), Jonida Milaj-Weishaar (Assistant Professor in Technology Law and Human Rights at the University of Groningen) and Sophia Salziger (PhD candidate at the University of Groningen) who discuss topics raised in the Ignacio's new book.

We anticipate an engaging and fun discussion and look forward to your presence.

We hope to see you there!
