White House and MIT to Host Conference on Big Data and Privacy
On March 3, 2014, the White House and MIT will cohost "Big Data Privacy: Advancing the State of the Art in Technology and Practice." The conference is part of the White House's Big Data and the Future of Privacy initiative and will feature keynotes from Counselor to the President John Podesta and Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. Scholars, privacy advocates, government representatives and private sector leaders will explore the opportunities and challenges of big data and examine the use of Privacy Enhancing Techniques. President Obama has called for a "comprehensive review of big data and the future of privacy." In response, EPIC and a coalition of consumer and scientific organizations outlined key questions for the White House to explore, and also asked the Office of Science and Technology Policy to encourage public participation.
