Increasing datafication and digitalisation of our societies means increased access to personal data about citizens for police agencies. This can improve investigations, but also poses questions about privacy and data protection.
The CUPP research project aims to move beyond speculation, engage civil society and to facilitate dialogue with central stakeholders.
The project is funded by NordForsk.
We look forward to seeing you!
Agenda
10:00-11:30 Fact vs. fiction in digitalised surveillance systems
In theory vast data amounts from lots of different sources can be a powerful weapon for the police in order to fight and even predict crime. But what are the real-life concerns technically as well ethically, when police agencies are facing large and heterogenous databases?
