In an age where we can collect and store (forEVER) every second of every day, how much do we truly need… to learn? To react? To do good deeds that benefit society?
Assuming we champion that, what does it mean for privacy and security and (maybe most importantly) global knowledge?
And what does any of that have to do with software development?
Dawn Nafus has definitive insights about those very questions, particularly when it comes to data design and artificial intelligence.
A renowned anthropologist and research scientist who studies the intersection of society and technology, Dawn sat down with TechDecoded to discuss the increasing importance—even the imperative—of incorporating social/societal dynamics into system design.
Topics include:
- Considerations of data access in real-life use cases, for example, the Open Artificial Pancreas System project (#OpenAPS), for managing diabetes
- Techniques that can broaden data literacy among the general public
- How data scientists, technologists, and developers can ensure data contextual integrity
- Steering data technology, design, and usage toward public benefit and interest
