DESCRIPTION:By: Helen Nissenbaum - Cornell Tech\nVideo of her talk\n\nAbst
 ract:\nAccording to the theory of contextual integrity (CI)\, privacy is a
 ppropriate flow of information. Appropriate flow is captured by norms\, or
  rules\, governing information flows with reference to five parameters –
  sender\, recipient\, subject\, information type\, and transmission princi
 ple. The values of these parameters range over contextually meaningful ont
 ologies -- of actors (acting in particular capacities) and information typ
 es. The growing landscape of networked\, sensor-enabled devices (IoT) and 
 data ravenous machine learning systems generates data whose semantics is u
 nclear. As such it poses a challenge to theories\, such as CI\, that depen
 d of descriptions of data flows in meaningful terms. This talk provides an
  overview of the theory of contextual integrity\, distinguishes it from ot
 her accounts of privacy\, and explores these contemporary challenges.\n\nB
 io:\nHelen Nissenbaum is a professor of information science at Cornell Tec
 h\, where she is founding director of the Digital Life Initiative\, focusi
 ng on ethics\, politics\, and quality of life in digital societies. Her b
 ooks include Obfuscation: A User's Guide for Privacy and Protest\, with F
 . Brunton (2015)\, Values at Play in Digital Games\, with M. Flanagan (20
 14)\, and Privacy in Context: Technology\, Policy\, and the Integrity of 
 Social Life (2010). Recipient of the 2014 Barwise Prize of the American P
 hilosophical Association\, Nissenbaum has contributed to privacy-enhancing
  software: TrackMeNot and AdNauseam. She has earned grants from the US
  National Science Foundation\, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency\,
  MacArthur Foundation\, and others\, many of these\, in fruitful collabora
 tion with colleagues in computer science and engineering.  She holds a Ph
 .D. in philosophy from Stanford University and BA (Hons) in mathematics an
 d philosophy from University of Witwatersrand.\n\nMore information
