Exposed: Privacy, Security, and the Smart City
This one-day conference focused on the privacy issues created by the ubiquitous surveillance of smart cities.
Chicago is leading the way in becoming a “smart” city, a city that tracks traffic, movement, energy use, cell phones and the like to run more efficiently. Privacy is the price. To live in the smart city is to live exposed. What will the exposed life be like? Can we find a balance between privacy rights and the benefits of massive data collection? What control should we have over our information? What roles should technology and the law play?
