Privacy designs, technological sovereignty and digital pandemic response-ability
This article tells the story of digital contact tracing in Norway and ensuing public controversies over encompassing surveillance. The resolution of the controversy came to turn predominantly on matters of privacy and measures provided through privacy-by-design. We relate this to recent turns towards design-based governance, which have also found their way into the field of Responsible Innovation. We contend that there is a need for Responsible I…
The techno-politics of computing the mind
Psychiatry has recently witnessed the launch of digital phenotyping as a new research agenda. According to digital phenotyping’s hypothesis, data about a patient’s daily behavior can be continuously collected through wearable monitoring devices and used to build software that would send warnings of mental relapse or would tailor treatment choices. The research is exploratory, and the claims upon which it is based are contentious. Drawing on inter…
Privacy engineering and the techno-regulatory imaginary
The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in force since 2018, has introduced design-based approaches to data protection and the governance of privacy. In this article we describe the emergence of the professional field of privacy engineering to enact this shift in digital governance. We argue that privacy engineering forms part of a broader techno-regulatory imaginary through which (fundamental) rights protections become in…
Make Way for the Robots! Human- and Machine-Centricity in Constituting a European Public–Private Partnership
This article is an analytic register of recent European efforts in the making of ‘autonomous’ robots to address what is imagined as Europe’s societal challenges. The paper describes how an emerging techno-epistemic network stretches across industry, science, policy and law to legitimize and enact a robotics innovation agenda. Roadmap is the main metaphor and organizing tool in working across the disciplines and sectors, and in aligning these hete…
