Abstract
What does it mean to give consent? Is there a difference between informed consent and meaningful consent? When is consent required? When is it not? Is it better to have policies to manage data use rather than require consent to acquire data? Where does consent sit within privacy, security, trust? Are there good design examples that support consent? Could these approaches operate at internet speed and scale?
The session will be a short course to explore together concepts around consent and how to design to support consentful transactions within the increasingly pervasive internet of things, vehicles, people; we will look at concepts of apparency, semantic and pragmatic transparency, negotiation and design scenarios to support meaningful consent. An overview of these concepts can be found in this Interactions cover story: http://interactions.acm.org/archive/view/november-december-2017/the-internet-of-things
Biography
m.c. schraefel, phd, ceng, cscs, fbcs. Holds the post prof. of computer science and human performance at the University of Southampton in the UK (https://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mc). The work above stems from the Meaningful Consent project (https://consentfully.org). Her main research focus is how to #makeNormalBetter @scale, for all, and to explore where interactive digital technologies may best help reach that human performance goal. To that end, she’s keen to help HCI researchers learn more about what she has been calling “inbodied interaction” (https://inbodiedinteraction.tumblr.com).
She asks, “How we use personal data – and not – is part of how we build support and sustain that quality of life – don’t you think?”
