Abstract:

In this talk Jaap-Henk Hoepman will discuss some of the myths surrounding privacy (like “I have nothing to hide” and “We are not collecting personal data” or “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.”). All to show that technological developments have had a tremendous impact on our privacy, but also can be used to protect our privacy. He will talk about the legal protection of privacy through the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and discuss how relying on purely legal measures is not enough. The systems themselves should be designed in a privacy friendly manner, through privacy by design. He will explain the privacy by design philosophy, and make it concrete by describing eight privacy design strategies.

Nordstar security seminar series

In the Nordstar security activity, OsloMET’s researchers investigate issues of security, privacy and trust in artificial intelligence. The seminar series presents scientific speakers who throughout 2022 will talk about topics related to federated learning, information privacy and artificial intelligence.

Nordic Centre for Sustainable and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Research (NordSTAR) is a Centre of Research Excellence in modern Artificial Intelligence (AI). The centre aims to establish a new paradigm in AI basic research, so-called sustainable and trustworthy AI.  The main goal of NordSTAR is to develop AI tools, which embed all key aspects related with trustworthiness and sustainability. To do this the centre has established five research areas: Security, safety and reliability, Human factors in AI, and Quantum AI.

The centre is led by Pedro Lind and Anis Yazidi. It is part of the OsloMet AI Lab and Applied Artificial Intelligence.  The security seminar series is organized by Lothar Fritsch and Hårek Haugerud.
