In an era of ubiquitous data collection and massive computing capacity, society faces unprecedented challenges to protecting information privacy. Technical advances in the fields of computer science, statistics, and information science both starkly illuminate privacy risks and have the potential to provide a foundation for privacy protection that is more systematic and effective.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="articles single-cta"> <div class="two-col-alt article-block"> <div class="row" data-equalizer=""> <div class="large-12 medium-12 small-12 columns"> <div class="cta shadowed no-padding" data-equalizer-watch=""> <div class="row" style="margin: inherit;"> <div class="medium-4 columns"> <a href='https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.1145/3654812' target='_blank'><img src="/binaries/ctaimagelarge/content/gallery/acm/ctas/public-policy/tech-briefs/techbrief-iss10-automated-vehicles.jpg" alt="" style="margin-bottom:0;padding-bottom:0;" /></a></div> <div class="medium-8 columns"> <div class="text-wrap"> <h2 class="text-left"><a href='https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.1145/3654812' target='_blank'>TechBrief on Automated Vehicles</a></h2> <div class="dek"> <p>This edition is focused on the problem that deficiencies in critical testing data and automated vehicle technology are impeding informed regulation and possible deployment of demonstrably safe automated vehicles. While it is unclear that fully automated vehicles will be able to operate safely without a human driver’s attention, regulators should not assume that fully automated vehicles will necessarily reduce road injuries and fatalities.

Importantly, the TechBrief dispels the popular misconception that a lack of trust in data systems is a result of poor data literacy among the public. However, the TechBrief points out that greater literacy often increases distrust.

A recurring theme of the TechBrief is that while incredibly useful and generally benign, when deployed in complex systems algorithms can cause a variety of profound harms to individuals and to society, threatening opportunity, liberty, and even life itself.
