Citizens’ Think-In with ADAPT

Science Gallery Dublin

Science Gallery Dublin invites you to join ADAPT & PROTECT researchers in a Citizens’ Think-In on Thursday 9 Sept 2021, 12-13:30 BST.

Digital technology has rapidly changed how we access information, how we work and how we connect with each other. This has also given rise to a massive increase in the amount of personal data information being gathered across the apps, websites and online services we use every day. But do we really understand where and how this data is shared? What is the level of trust between us and big tech organisations that control our data? Join our workshop to discuss ‘Who should we trust with our Data?’ We Want to Hear Your OpinionThe notion of trust and data is complex and layered. There is a growing realisation that the current dominance of a few big tech companies is not good for society. Our multi-disciplined researchers are exploring how we can give individuals more impetus and control when it comes to managing their own data online. Moving beyond agreeing to cookies to emerging solutions such as &quot;Pods&quot; (personal online data stores) which would enable individuals to retain control and ownership of their data.Join ADAPT and PROTECT experts in questioning● 	Who should we trust with our data?● 	Do we fully understand the implications of terms, conditions and privacy notices we accept?● 	Are there alternative data-sharing models which could give individuals control over their own personal data?● 	How will the European Commission&#x27;s new legislative proposals help to protect individuals?● 	How do we enable people so they feel confident executing control over their data? What is a Citizens’ Think-in?ADAPT’s Citizens’ Think-Ins are public forums that bring people together to discuss some of the ethical issues we face in the digital age. They give the public an opportunity to interact with and inform research at the cutting-edge of AI research and development. What do I need to do?To join in the Think-In, all we ask is that you are open to listening to ideas and sharing thoughts. Our researchers want insights from people to inform their work and this includes whether you agree or disagree with the research direction, are confused or empowered by the emerging insights and whether you think it is impactful or not. Your participation means that you will have the chance to steer research through these conversations. How does it work?No previous knowledge on the theme is necessary. We ensure the themes we use are relevant to everyday life. Real world scenarios will be provided so that people can imagine the potential outcomes despite their previous experiences. Participants will be given a full introduction to the topic at the event by our team. They will then be invited to share opinions in group discussions and no expertise in the area is required – all necessary details will be provided and the organisers are interested in hearing opinions from everyone.
