abstract: Privacy, security, and personal freedom: one cannot be had without the
|
|
|
|
|
+ others. Each of these essential rights are being surreptitiously
|
|
|
|
|
+ assaulted; only the most technical among us even know what to look for,
|
|
|
|
|
+ let alone how to defend ourselves. Governments, corporations, and groups
|
|
|
|
|
+ of ill-minded individuals are spying and preying upon both users and
|
|
|
|
|
+ bystanders with unprecedented frequency and breadth. For those of us who
|
|
|
|
|
+ do understand these issues, it would be irresponsible not to fight for
|
|
|
|
|
+ the rights of others and continue to bring these assaults to light.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ This talk will survey the most pressing issues of today, including
|
|
|
|
|
+ topics of government surveillance and espionage; advertisers and data
|
|
|
|
|
+ analytics; the Internet of Things; corporate negligence; public policy
|
|
|
|
|
+ and the crypto wars; dangers of a non-free Web and untrusted, ephemeral
|
|
|
|
|
+ software; pervasive monitoring; remote servers, services, and “the
|
|
|
|
|
+ cloud”; modern vehicles; the fight against decentralization and free
|
|
|
|
|
+ software; societal pressures and complacency with the status quo; and
|
|
|
|
|
+ more.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ Attendees will walk away with a broad understanding of these topics; an
|
|
|
|
|
+ overview of mitigations; and dozens of resources for further research
|
|
|
|
|
+ and discussion with others. No prior knowledge of security or
|
|
|
|
|
+ cryptography are necessary.

abstract: Words like "wizardry" and "incantation" have long been used to describe
|
|
|
|
|
+ skillful computational feats. But neither computers nor
|
|
|
|
|
+ their users are performing feats of magic; for systems to think, we must
|
|
|
|
|
+ tell them how.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ Today, users most often follow a carefully choreographed workflow that
|
|
|
|
|
+ thinks _for_ them, limited by a narrow set of premeditated
|
|
|
|
|
+ possibilities. But there exist concepts that offer virtually no limits on
|
|
|
|
|
+ freedom of expression or thought, blurring the distinction between "user"
|
|
|
|
|
+ and "programmer".
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ This session demonstrates a range of practical possibilities when
|
|
|
|
|
+ machine acts as an extension of the user's imagination, for the technical
|
|
|
|
|
+ and nontechnical alike.

abstract: Many communities have widely adopted codes of ethics governing the
|
|
|
|
|
+ moral conduct of their members and professionals. Some of these codes may
|
|
|
|
|
+ even be enshrined in law, and for good reason—certain conduct can have
|
|
|
|
|
+ enormous consequences on the lives of others.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ Software and technology pervade virtually every aspect of our lives. Yet,
|
|
|
|
|
+ when compared to other fields, our community leaders and educators have
|
|
|
|
|
+ produced an ethics void. Last year, I introduced numerous topics concerning
|
|
|
|
|
+ privacy, security, and freedom that raise serious ethical concerns. Join me
|
|
|
|
|
+ this year as we consider some of those examples and others in an attempt to
|
|
|
|
|
+ derive a code of ethics that compares to the moral obligations of other
|
|
|
|
|
+ fields, and to consider how leaders and educators should approach ethics
|
|
|
|
|
+ within education and guidance.

abstract: Imagine a world where surveillance is the default and users must
|
|
|
|
|
+ opt-in to privacy. Imagine that your every action is logged and analyzed to
|
|
|
|
|
+ learn how you behave, what your interests are, and what you might do
|
|
|
|
|
+ next. Imagine that, even on your fully free operating system, proprietary
|
|
|
|
|
+ software is automatically downloaded and run not only without your consent,
|
|
|
|
|
+ but often without your knowledge. In this world, even free software cannot
|
|
|
|
|
+ be easily modified, shared, or replaced. In many cases, you might not even
|
|
|
|
|
+ be in control of your own computing—your actions and your data might be in
|
|
|
|
|
+ control by a remote entity, and only they decide what you are and are not
|
|
|
|
|
+ allowed to do.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ This may sound dystopian, but this is the world you’re living in right
|
|
|
|
|
+ now. The Web today is an increasingly hostile, freedom-denying place that
|
|
|
|
|
+ propagates to nearly every aspect of the average users’ lives—from their PCs
|
|
|
|
|
+ to their phones, to their TVs and beyond. But before we can stand up and
|
|
|
|
|
+ demand back our freedoms, we must understand what we’re being robbed of, how
|
|
|
|
|
+ it’s being done, and what can (or can’t) be done to stop it.
