https://mydata2019.org/programme-page/public-spaces-private-data/ More and more people live their lives online, and we are encouraged to view the internet as a public space. However the personal data we bring to this space can be used in many inappropriate ways: Instagram stories are scraped to target advertisement; faces in family photographs are used to train the ML systems that will scan crowds for suspects; the devices we thought we owned end up owning us; and our browsing histories are stored and scanned by governments and private companies. This creates a tension for public service organisations as they try to deliver value to audiences and users online. In this session experts from the BBC Research & Development, Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE, and PublicSpaces will consider how to resolve these tensions, and look at some specific interventions aimed at providing value to audiences and communities through the responsible use of private data in online public spaces.

What is the Living Room of the Future?

2. What is the living room of the future?
● Public facing research demonstrator
● Real world feasibility testing (HDI model and OBM tools)
● Feedback for HDI implementation tool creation
● Technical framework for tools & community of practice

3. Research aims
● Exploring Human Data Interaction (HDI) to understand its
feasibility and the perception and attitudes of the audience
● Early understanding of the technological possibilities of a trusted
data ecosystem in a connected environment
● Exploring personalised experiences for small groups of
people

12. The databox project
Databox has its origins in an emerging school of thought
called ‘Human Data Interaction’ which sees personal data
as an object in its own right rather than a by-product of our
mundane interactions with third parties, systems and
services

Feedback from the room

24. Transparency in a data receipt
@cubicgarden

25. @cubicgarden
What we found...

26. Concerns over privacy
@cubicgarden
….“Scary”, “Creepy”, “Being watched”
Sensitivity in the Context of the Home
Data Sharing with Third Parties
“Organisations pushing in”
Lack of Transparency
“Suddenly the couch became suspicious”.

27. Agency Concerns
@cubicgarden
….“Maybe if it was more controlled by the user
itself instead of, like, someone else having
control over it”
Need for Negotiability
Binary to Granular Choices
Need for Active and Informed Data Control
Provision of Freedom. Eg., Filter Bubbles
Autonomy over ones life

28. Trust
@cubicgarden
….Privacy + Agency Concerns = Loss of Trust
Lack of Control and Transparency
Loss of Trust in Personalised Services
Risks : Hacking/ Unethical data use
