Data and Privacy

Is true privacy possible or desirable in a digital age? This episode focuses on the right to privacy in the age of big data. Mark Zuckerberg has said that ‘nobody wants privacy anymore’. Is he right?

Sharing a common interest in the potential for the abuse of data gathered by tech companies to invade individual life – and a strong desire to prevent this from occurring -are the award-winning literary novelist Joanna Kavenna, Imperial College computer scientist Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, and Marie Nemond, Chief Data Officer of the Pictet Group.
