“Dealing with Data Dilemmas” is a full-day conference being held as a satellite event of the UN World Data Forum in Macao SAR, China on the 25th of April 2023. This event, hosted by the United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau), co-organized with partners from Center for Data Science, University of Macau, and Faculty of Innovation Engineering, Macau University of Science and Technology, aims to discuss data dilemmas across a variety of themes and reflect on whether taking a human-centered systems approach can help solve these.
Conflicts between preventing harm and promoting health and human security using data and digital technologies have resulted in many data and digital technology dilemmas that span diverse topics and fields of work. For instance, data can be used in exploitative ways to identify and change opinions or manipulated for personal or political gain. This can result in misinformation and disinformation that reinforces false facts. Also, many people are suffering from adverse mental and physical health impacts resulting from digitally connected tools that collect and use data and advances in AI are threatening human freedom and augmenting these trends.
On the other hand, data and digital technology development create new opportunities for people’s voices to be heard. Participatory modelling facilitated by digital technologies has the potential to be more inclusive, strengthen democratic decision-making processes (enabling citizen science), facilitate deliberations, and create opportunities for better governance by taking a systems approach and building collective intelligence. However, to put data and digital technologies to the best use for people and the environment, a range of dilemmas need to be identified and overcome. Digital technology development needs to be directed towards outcomes that are good for all, which requires attention to be focused on institutions and regulative frameworks.
A human-centered systems approach towards sustainable data and digital technology development is an attempt to address those dilemmas. It aims at developing and applying digital technologies for the good of humans, but not at any cost, in particular not at the costs of declining ecosystems and social systems. The systems approach views humans interconnected among themselves and with the biosphere, so that growth is not confused with genuine progress. The systems approach also creates new connections between people and decision makers. Digital technologies can help to accelerate developments towards common goals by reducing the time, costs and conflicts of finding consensus at scale, while computational social science methods can elicit and augment society’s collective values and intelligence.
We are now calling for contributions that take a human-centered systems approach towards sustainable data and digital technology development. You may register online through this link below. The deadline for submissions (except Audience) is April 7.
