Exploring the role of cryptocurrencies in sanctions evasion
Every wave carries a sense of déjà vu
Analyzed through the lens of the “computerization movement” (CM), the development of revolutionary technologies has consistently followed a recurring trajectory in terms of the origin, momentum, diffusion, and societal impact. Building on the analysis of selected historical trajectories, similar dynamics are discernible for the recent push towards the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), being enhanced by capabilities provided by Big Data in…
Collective Data Protection Litigation
At first glance data protection litigation seems to be a niche topic. Yet, record sum compensation such as those resulting from the Meta – Cambridge Analytica lawsuit (725 million usd ) reveal enormous practical relevance. This proceeding took the form of a class action, brought before a Californian court. Such collective proceedings might sweep across the Atlantic, as the EU Directive on Representative Actions introduced a new collective litigat…
General-purpose AI regulation and the European Union AI Act
This article provides an initial analysis of the EU AI Act's approach to general-purpose artificial intelligence, arguing that the regulation marks a significant shift from reactive to proactive AI governance, while concerns about its enforceability, democratic legitimacy and future-proofing remain
Data autonomy
The ‘smart city’ has been driven by advances in information and communication technologies, with the aim of integrating these technologies with urban infrastructures for improved optimisation, automation and control. Smart cities have emerged as a response to the challenges faced by megacities and are likely to manifest the ‘datafying’ society in the public space. However, the pervasive nature of data collection, continuous analysis and inference…
Handbook on the Politics and Governance of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
Drawing on the theoretical debates, practical applications, and sectoral approaches in the field, this ground-breaking Handbook unpacks the political and regulatory developments in AI and big data governance. Covering the political implications of big data and AI on international relations, as well as emerging initiatives for legal regulation, it provides an accessible overview of ongoing data science discourses in politics, law and governance. T…
How to protect privacy in a datafied society? A presentation of multiple legal and conceptual approaches
The United Nations confirmed that privacy remains a human right in the digital age, but our daily digital experiences and seemingly ever-increasing amounts of data suggest that privacy is a mundane, distributed and technologically mediated concept. This article explores privacy by mapping out different legal and conceptual approaches to privacy protection in the context of datafication. It provides an essential starting point to explore the entwi…
Identity and Privacy Governance
Extraterritorial application of the GDPR
This article examines whether the territorial scope of the EU General Data Protection Regulation promotes European values. While the regulation received international attention, it remains questionable whether provisions with extraterritorial effect support a power-based approach or a value-driven strategy. Developments around the enforceability of a 'right to be forgotten' , or the difficulties in regulating transatlantic data flows, raise doubt…
Big data, privacy and Covid-19 – learning from humanitarian expertise in data protection
The COVID-19 pandemic leads governments around the world to resort to tracking technology and other data-driven tools in order to monitor and curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Such large-scale incursion into privacy and data protection is unthinkable during times of normalcy. However, in times of a pandemic the use of location data provided by telecom operators and/or technology companies becomes a viable option. Importantly, legal regulations hardl…
Mapping power and jurisdiction on the internet through the lens of government-led surveillance
Facing the fragmentation of digital space in the aftermath of the Snowden revelations, this article considers regulatory models available to avoid the balkanisation of the internet
Exploring the governance and implementation of sustainable development initiatives through blockchain technology
Societies at large still grapple to categorize digital space as a phenomenon. At the same time, scientists and developers are searching for innovative methods to better understand how the fundamental shifts caused by digital change will affect the future of humanity over the coming decades. Interdisciplinary governance research at the intersection of technological and environmental foresight is urgently needed to minimize the risks of technologic…
Das Recht auf Vergessenwerden als Menschenrecht
Ist die Erstellung und Verarbeitung von Daten in unserer Epoche zu einer Belastung geworden, gegen die wir angehen müssen? Bedarf es der Etablierung eines Mechanismus zur Sicherstellung des Verfalls personenbezogener Information? Benötigen wir ein „Recht auf Vergessenwerden“ (RVw) im Sinne Viktor Mayer-Schönbergers, welches dem Menschen die Sicherung seiner Würde im Informationszeitalter garantiert?
