The Social, Cultural & Ethical Dimensions of “Big Data” (March 17th)

On March 17th, the Data & Society Research Institute, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and New York University’s Information Law Institute will be co-hosting a public event entitled “The Social, Cultural, & Ethical Dimensions of ‘Big Data’ ”. The purpose of this event is to convene key stakeholders and thought leaders from across academia, government, industry, and civil society to examine the social, cultural, and ethical implications of “big data,” with an eye to both the challenges and opportunities presented by the phenomenon.

The public event will be held at the NYU Law School starting at 5:15PM on March 17, 2014. This event will be open to the public, but to attend you must RSVP here. Space is limited (if we reach capacity, you can add yourself to the waitlist on the RSVP page). The discussion will also be livestreamed from the Data & Society website.
