2nd Annual McGowan Forum on Ethics: The Challenge of Big Data

On October 26, 2017, John Verdi, FPF’s Vice President of Policy, served as a panelist for the National Archives Foundation’s 2nd Annual McGowan Forum on Ethics: The Challenge of Big Data. The panel discussed the ethical responsibility of those who compile and track citizens’ personal data.  The conversation focused around what responsibility corporations and governments have to protect their customers and be transparent in regard to possible data hacks. 

The session was moderated by Kim Hart, the Technology Editor at Axios. Other panelists included Neil Chilson, Acting Chief Technologist, Federal Trade Commission; Marc DaCosta, Co-founder and Chairman, Enigma; and Michelle De Mooy, Director of the Privacy & Data Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology.
