Don’t Be Evil: Building Trustable and Responsible Technology Business
As the term “Surveillance Capitalism” established itself in 2019, we ask ourselves what will it take for 2020 to turn into the pivotal year that will turn the tide of an impending and some say inevitable ‘Privacy Crisis’?
On 27th August, ThingsCon and EHVIOTmeetup joined forces to kick-off a series of industry-focused workshops and discussions aimed at proactively calling a halt to the insidious activities threatening to erode trust in the technology industry. This workshop is a follow-up and the first of a series of deep dives into the topics under discussion:
CODE OF TRUST Defining the grey boundaries of Trust
We start by asking ourselves “What is ‘Evil’?” What are the practices currently eroding our trust in technology, brands, and institutions? Where might we draw the lines between good and bad practices? We will dig deeper into possible criteria and boundaries required to (re)build trust in technology by drawing inspiration from experts and evolving frameworks, such as the 3 pillars of Ethical Technology from the European Group on Ethics, the European Commission’s guidelines on trustworthy AI, The European Self Sovereign identity framework (eSSIF) and ThingsCon’s own 5 Trustmark for IoT dimensions.
This workshop series is aimed at a broad audience of professionals with backgrounds in technology, ethics, regulation, (service) design, business, and finance on the requirements and possibilities for a European Code of Trust.
