Data Democracy & Freedom with Dr Colin Bennett
This is the first in the ODPA’s new podcast series, Data, Democracy and Freedom. It examines:
• How people’s information can be weaponized to undermine elections and democracy.
• How to preserve civil liberties and strike the right balance between national security/program delivery and upholding privacy rights.
• How technology may be influencing our freedom of thought and expression
In this first episode, Guernsey Data Protection Commissioner Brent Homan sits down with privacy and civil liberties advocate Dr Colin Bennett to discuss Privacy and Politics, surveillance technologies, and whether artificial intelligence is a friend or foe for personal freedom.
Dr Bennett is Professor of Political Science at the University of Victoria, Canada, Professor Emeritus at UVIC as well as an Associate Fellow at the Centre for Global Studies, and writer of many books and articles including: ‘Transparent Lives: Surveillance in Canada’; ‘Security Games: Surveillance and Control at Mega-Events’; and ‘The Governance of Privacy: Policy Instruments in Global Perspective’.
