  3. Exposed: Privacy, Security and the Smart City

Armour College of Engineering Students are invited to attend Exposed: Privacy, Security, and the Smart City, hosted by IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law. The event is a one-day conference focusing on the privacy issues created by the ubiquitous surveillance of smart cities.

The conference will analyze how decisions about the balance between privacy and benefits of information processing are made and how they should be made. It will examine the control we do and should have over our information, and the extent to which we could and should use technology and the law to gain greater control.

After an overview of the issues raised by smart cities, experts will participate in three panel discussions:

  • Are Smart Cities a Smart Choice? discusses the benefits and risks of developing hyperconnected cities.
  • Reaping Benefits, Respecting Privacy considers how we can design with adequate respect for privacy.
  • Securing the Smart City examines technological requirements, psychological effects, and legal issues involved in providing adequate security.

The event is free to attend. Please direct questions to Amy Rossi at arossi@kentlaw.iit.edu or (312) 906-5122.
