Alston & Bird Hosting Privacy, Innovation and Big Data Program Organized by the American Constitution Society

March 21, 2014 By Privacy, Cyber & Data Strategy Team

On March 25, Alston & Bird partner David Keating to moderate panel discussion organized by the American Constitution Society and Georgia State Bar on Big Data. Featured speakers are Georgia Tech’s Peter Swire, Acxiom’s Jerry Jones, FTC’s Cindy Liebes, and attorney Gerald Weber.

David Keating, Partner and co-chair of the firm’s Privacy & Security team, will moderate the panel titled “Privacy, Innovation and Big Data: What Does the Future Hold?” Technologies used to collect and analyze vast amounts of data have made quantum leaps forward in recent years. At the same time, the cost of storage of data has continued a dramatic trend downward. The result is Big Data – large datasets compiled by businesses and governmental authorities, which can be used to identify individuals from disparate bits of information and to derive intimate details about individuals’ activities online and in the physical world. This panel discussion will focus on how governments and businesses collect vast amounts of data about peoples’ lives and how that information, now called Big Data, is analyzed and used. The panelists will discuss issues relating to the balancing of Big Data’s benefits against actual or perceived privacy costs, and whether existing legal frameworks are sufficient to address this new paradigm.

Panelists are:

–  Jerry C. Jones, Chief Ethics and Legal Officer, Acxiom 
–  Cindy Liebes, Regional Director, Southeast Region, Federal Trade Commission 
–  Peter Swire, Nancy J. and Lawrence P. Huang Professor, Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute of Technology 
–  Gerald R. Weber, Law Offices of Gerald Weber; Adjunct Professor, Constitutional Litigation, Emory University School of Law; Member, ACS Georgia Lawyer Chapter Board of Advisors

This event will be from 6-8pm and held in Alston & Bird’s Atlanta office. RSVP at BigData.
