James Felton Keith: #Own Your Data
The Ethics of Personal Data Collection
Data is what drives our economy. We leave trails of personal data as we scroll, click, chat, shop, commute and exercise. In many ways, data is an emerging renewable commodity, as abundant as sunlight. The top 5 largest companies of 2017 are all considered “data companies” that rely on capturing, processing and distributing personal data to garner their market capitalization or pre-market valuation.
Author and Engineer, James Felton Keith will explore the two questions: If our personal data is a naturally occurring resource, just how valuable is it to the other +5 million companies in our economy? And, How much are people owed if they in fact own their data?
