Towards Building a Responsible Data Economy
Wednesday, June 23, 4:45PM UTCDawn Song, Professor, EECS, UC Berkeley
Data is a key driver of modern economy and AI/machine learning, however, a lot of this data is sensitive and handling the sensitive data has caused unprecedented challenges for both individuals and businesses, and these challenges will only get more severe as we move forward in the digital era. In this talk, I will talk about technologies needed for responsible data use including secure computing, differential privacy, federated learning, as well as blockchain technologies for data rights, and how to combine privacy computing technologies and blockchain to building a platform for a responsible data economy, to enable more responsible use of data that maximizes social welfare and economic efficiency while protecting users’ data rights and enable fair distribution of value created from data.
