David Barnard-Wills of Trilateral Research spoke about the PULSE project at the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection Conference 2016 in Brussels on 27 January 2016, in a panel on “Philosophy and privacy: new (inter)faces”.
The panel organised by 3TU.Ethics, was chaired by Michael Nagenborg, University of Twente (Netherlands) and moderated by Pete Fussey, University of Essex (UK). The panelists were Liliana Arroyo Moliner, Eticas Research & Consulting (Spain), Marjolein Lanzing, University of Eindhoven (Netherlands), and Aimee van Wynsberghe, University of Twente (Netherlands). The session explored, amongst other things, the role that ethics does, could, and should play in current discussions, research projects, and the development of new information and communication technologies; the role of the ethics adviser working as a designer among computer engineers, programmers and scientists to apply ethical theories and values in both particular and general cases; privacy as an ‘ethical’ issue; and the potential tensions between participatory design and ethics. Around 30 people attended the session. CPDP is a three day conference attended by people from academia, public and private sectors and civil society from European and other countries.
