Dear list members, I am looking for examples/sample (big data) analytics group assignments for my executive MBA class. Ideally, the assignment should expose the student to understanding different issues/concepts related to analytics and how to leverage it for competitive advantages or something similar. It could also be related to a business problem-solving with big data analytics, etc. Any thoughts?

New generously funded PhD Project - Digital ethics in a big data age: the challenges of privacy and consent
by Paul Henman 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

Dear colleagues Please circulate and pass on to potential high calibre students! PhD Project - Digital ethics in a big data age: the challenges of privacy and consent In an increasing digitised world, processes of consent, privacy and data protection are much more complex and poorly protected. Understanding digital ethics in a big data age is essential for building trusted, ethical and socially accepted personalised health technologies. This research project might tackle questions such as: * What are the new ethical challenges for obtaining informed user consent with new digital health technologies? * Does our established practice of point-in-time informed consent need to change to reflect a dynamic informed consent approach? * In what ways do consumers understand how their personal health data is used and the implications for their privacy and security when they give consent, for example when using a FitBit or a DNA genealogy kit? * Do our notions of privacy also need to change in the face of new technologies? * Are there new trade-offs being made between privacy and improved health outcomes and how do we navigate these benefits/disbenefits at individual and societal levels? The Experience This project provides a unique opportunity to work with CSIRO<https://www.csiro.au/en/About/Future-Science-Platforms> scientists involved in developing new technologies, and be part of a major collaboration including a cohort of 8 PhD students and 2 postdoctoral fellows working on responsible innovation. Scholarship The scholarship (for either Australian or International students) covers tuition fees and provides a living stipend of AUD$32,096 per annum, plus a project budget of up to $16,000 across the project. See https://graduate-school.uq.edu.au/csiro-uq-ri for more information and how to apply.

New book: Lawless: the secret rules that govern our digital lives (Cambridge, 2019)
by Nicolas Suzor 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

Hi everyone! Apologies for cross posts and self-promotion. I'm pleased to announce that my new book, 'Lawless', is out now with Cambridge University Press. The first half of the book is designed as an accessible review of the difficult policy trade-offs in regulating platforms. The second half advances a vision for the self-constitutionalization of digital intermediaries -- the development of real limits on the exercise of power, and the creation of new institutions and new collaborations that are able to hold both private companies and governments to account against due process and human rights norms. The book is now available at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Lawless-Secret-Rules-Govern-Digital/dp/1108740472/) and elsewhere, but best of all, there's a free PDF available of the almost-final text: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/ack26/. There's also a blog post overview here: https://digitalsocialcontract.net/lawless-2910ee226bfa Blurb: Rampant abuse, hate speech, censorship, bias, and disinformation -- our Internet has problems. It is governed by technology companies -- search engines, social media platforms, and infrastructure providers -- whose hidden rules influence what we are allowed to see and say. In Lawless, Nicolas P. Suzor presents gripping examples of exactly how tech companies govern our digital environment and how they bend to pressure from governments and other powerful actors to censor and control the flow of information online. We are at a constitutional moment -- an opportunity to rethink the basic rules of how the Internet is governed. Suzor offers a vision of a vibrant, diverse, and flourishing internet that can protect our fundamental rights from the lawless rule of tech. The culmination of more than ten years of original research, this groundbreaking work should be read by anyone who cares about the internet and the future of our shared social spaces. Your friend and mine, Tama Leaver, recently called it a 'Must Read': https://twitter.com/tamaleaver/status/1163641856384573440 Nice things that other great folks have said about it: 'Lawless is realistic but optimistic about how things on the Internet got so bad and what it will take to fix them. Suzor compellingly describes how constitutionalism and the rule of law can adapt to digital spaces.' James Grimmelmann 'In Lawless, Nicolas P. Suzor doesn't just raise questions about the power tech companies wield, he sets out to answer them, with urgency and care. He offers a lucid, ambitious, wide-ranging, and cautiously hopeful analysis of how platforms govern - and how they should - that comes at just the right moment.' Tarleton Gillespie 'Suzor's book is a critically important account on the cutting edge of a global sea change in how we imagine our rights will be protected -- or not -- in a world connected by networked technology.' Kate Klonick 'Suzor takes readers on a journey through the challenges and pitfalls of Internet governance. His book is a thoughtful examination of why the constitutional values of legitimacy, transparency and due process are the touchstones we need for a better internet.' Primavera De Filippi 'Suzor's book is a truly thorough look at one of today's most pressing issues and provides real guidance on how we can move forward, together.'
