[Air-L] London based EVENT INVITATION: Multi-Sided Trust for Multi-Sided Platforms - on Thursday 12 April 2018

[Ansgar Koene]

Dear all,

 the following may be of interest to those of you who are based within easy distance to London.

Best wishes,

Ansgar


Next week we have an excellent event taking place in London, entitled "Multi-Sided Trust for Multi-Sided Platforms". This is a particularly hot topic at present.


In recent weeks, we have seen data analytics and mining being denounced - with the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica now being touted by the Press as "the data scandal". Some are now calling for stronger regulation of what data mining a company can or cannot do.

Prior to these latest news, DotEveryone published this report<http://attitudes.doteveryone.org.uk/> last month which called for the UK Government to establish an independent regulator that understands how the underlying systems behind technology work. The intent is for a body which can scrutinise business models, metrics and algorithms in real time, and which is independent from government (so that health, immigration and taxation data can be subjected to the same level of scrutiny).

The UK Chapter of the Internet Society and the Horizon Digital Economy Research Program at Nottingham University have teamed up to organise an exclusive free event at the British Computer Society in London, that will bring panellists and participants to discuss the issue, starting with Catherine Miller - Director of Policy at DotEveryone, the organisation that has published the report. Other expert panellists are listed below and this exciting discussion will be moderated by Professor Ansgar Koene, Senior Research Fellow at Horizon Digital Economy Research, University of Nottingham.

The discussion, likely to last approximately 90 minutes, will be followed by refreshments. Thursday 12 April 2018. Doors will open at 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start.

Reserve your place now, as this event is likely to prove very popular!
