Washington, DC — Leading organizers and advocates will discuss how anti-discrimination protections and notions of justice figure into considerations of personal privacy and predictive analytics. Panelists will present a set of civil and human rights principles to guide policymaking in an area that to date remains almost totally unregulated. They will discuss high-tech profiling, automated decisionmaking, digital due process, access to and control over personal data, and the risks posed by reliance upon inaccurate information.
