Description of the Session
Time Session : 60 minutes
The debate will be facilitated by a Rapporteur who will introduce the format and manage the allocated time among the different sides (proposition and opposition, composed of 3 speakers each).
The Rapporteur introduces the speakers and the moderator provides brief context for the debate.
The Rapporteur introduces the format and will pose a question which each speaker has 3 minutes to respond to the following question "Ethics and Internet : Myth or opportunity for the European Economy? ».
Then 3 questions for each speaker.
« From Privacy-by-Design to Ethical-by-Design ? »
3 minutes – 1st speaker response
3 minutes – 2nd speaker response
3 minutes – 3rd speaker response
« AI, a common democratic necessity? »
3 minutes – 1st speaker response
3 minutes – 2nd speaker response
3 minutes – 3rd speaker response
« Why is it relevant to conciliate Ethics and Digital for Europe? »
3 minutes – 1st speaker response
3 minutes – 2nd speaker response
3 minutes – 3rd speaker response
5 minutes: The Moderator facilitates a debate among the speakers, asking them to respond to specific points delivered in each response.
15-20 minutes: Open floor
After all three debaters have spoken, the debate will be opened to the floor, in which members of the audience will put questions to the teams. Questions must be addressed to all speakers – and speakers have a maximum of 2 minutes to respond.
After the floor debate, each speaker will present a two-minute summary speech.
1 minute: Rapporteur will present a closing statement.
With her academic background, Celia Zolynski is an expert for engaging and facilitate discussion amongst speakers but also with different profiles and audiences.
2018 got off to a flying start.
- Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook called for the decentralization of the controversial model.
- The Cambridge Analytica scandal made users of online services aware that they no longer had control over their data, which was overmanaged by the GAFAM. Nonetheless volume of Facebook users continues to grow (+13% compared to 2017).
- The Data Portability, introduced by the GDPR, would change the rules of the digital economy and, more generally, of the European Data.
- The users could then call for competition generating alternatives. This proliferation was not possible once data was sent on one-way highways to the silos of oligopolies anxious to consolidate their positions. How can we imagine futurs for all these ambitions of a more decentralized digital ecosystem?
Next November will be a perfect opportunity to debate with business leaders, thinkers and doers about this main issue :
Reconciling Ethics and Internet : an real opportunity for the European Economy?
We would like to discuss about this relevant issue with these 3 great leaders and thinkers through a Workshop as Oxford Debate.
-- Aurélie Jean, Dr Computational Scientist
Dr. Aurélie Jean will give her approach of Artificial Intelligence as the CEO and Founder of Silico Veritas that was created in order to provide curious human beings, institutions and companies with knowledge, ideas and inspiration around coding and new technologies.
-- Benjamin André, CEO and co-founder of Cozy Cloud
Benjamin André founded with a ambitious mission to create an ethical digital pathway. Your vacation destinations, future cars, playlists, preferred electoral candidate, encounters with others... Via their personalized suggestions, the GAFA companies increasingly influence your choices thanks to what they know about you. A democratic society in the digital era must enable individuals to reclaim ownership on data and algorithms. In his 2018 New Year resolutions, Mark Zuckerberg called for the de-centralization of technology. That has been Cozy’s mission since it was created!
-- Gaspard Koenig, writer of the report « Data are mine » and CEO of Generation Libre Think-Tank (https://www.generationlibre.eu/gaspard-koenig/)
Conducted by Gaspard Koenig, the Think tank GenerationLibre studies how to establish a system of ownership on personal data.
Just as the industrial revolution made intellectual property rights necessary, the digital revolution should create an ownership right on personal data. If data represent the oil of the 21st century, is it not time to ask who owns the oil elds ?
This legal innovation would change the way the digital ecosystem works, by giving user-producers:
• The possibility for e-citizens to negociate and conclude contracts with the platforms (possibly via intermediaries) regarding the use of their personal data, so that they can decide for themselves which use they wish to make of them.
• The ability to monetise these data (or not) according to the terms of the contract (which could include licensing, leasing, etc.).
• The ability, conversely, to pay the price of the service provided by the platforms without giving away our data (the price of privacy?).
GenerationLibre worked with a team of experts (law professors, engineers, data scientists and economists) to analyze the entire range of socio-economic and ethical issues relating to personal data and to envisage how to introduce ownership of personal data into the law.
The report "Data are mine" is available here in its english version : https://www.generationlibre.eu/data-a-moi/
Founded in 2013 by the French philosopher Gaspard Koenig, GenerationLibre is a liberal think tank. It is nanced exclusively by the generosity of its members, the only guarantee of its freedom to be outspoken and its independence. It refuses any public subsidy and is not involved in any consulting activity. GenerationLibre pursues 3 objectives which are: to live and let live, to liberalize economy, and to apprehend progress.
Cozy Cloud embraces the Open Source community that cares about privacy issues and already aimed at building a personal data platform.
Through our Twitter and IRC, we will cover the online participation.
