Have you ever committed a traffic violation? Incorrect information provided when applying for benefits? Negligent in paying the health insurance premium? You may belong to a so-called risk group and you will be monitored extra closely.
During the Public Academy for Jurisprudence on 8 May 2019, mr. dr. Aline Klingenberg, associate professor of IT law, tells you everything about risk profiling: What exactly is it? What does it mean for you as a citizen? She discusses the general privacy rules (GDPR): what is your right as a citizen, including when it comes to accessing your data, and what are the consequences of risk profiling for equal opportunities in society?
Information Public Prosecutor Henriette Louwes then explains how the Public Prosecution Service uses modern techniques such as the use of big data and self-learning computer systems (artificial intelligence). She also discusses the ethical dilemmas involved. For example, when exchanging information, the privacy may be at stake, even for non-suspected persons. Where does privacy end and suspicious actions begin? Together with a colleague from the police, concrete examples will be given of (anonymized) cases that have occurred and the way in which data has been used for handling.
