Long version: Dr. Brent Mittelstadt is a researcher in data ethics at the Alan Turing Institute, University College London and the University of Oxford. His research addresses the ethics of algorithms, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analytics (‘Big Data’). His immediate research focuses on ethical auditing of algorithms, including the development of standards and methods to ensure fairness, accountability, transparency, interpretability, and protection of group privacy in complex algorithmic systems. A recent paper on the lack of meaningful and accountability and transparency mechanisms for automated decision-making in the General Data Protection Regulation highlights the pressing need for work in these areas.

Over the past five years his focus has broadly been on the ethics and governance of emerging information technologies, including a special interest in medical applications. Reflecting this, in the past year he has worked on the Data Analysis in IoT Solutions for Healthcare (DASH) project, part of the EPSRC’s PETRAS IoT Hub, to develop ethical guidelines for designing the health-related Internet of Things. Prior to this he collaborated with Prof. Luciano Floridi on the Ethics of Biomedical Big Data project at the University of Oxford. With support from the Brocher Foundation and the University of Oxford’s John Fell Fund he has recently organised workshops and symposia on ethics, policy and governance for biomedical Big Data, which led to the publication of an edited volume in Springer’s Law, Governance and Technology book series and a special issue in Philosophy & Technology. Dr. Mittelstadt holds an affiliation with St. Cross College in Oxford, and is also a member of the Oxford Internet Institute’s Ethics and Philosophy of Information research cluster.

Amy Johnson is a digital ethnographer and STS scholar in MIT’s Program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society. A Mellon/American Council of Learned Societies Dissertation Completion Fellow and a research affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, Amy studies relationships of language and technology to understand how global communication networks are changing ideas of personhood and governance. Her PhD research examined Twitter parody accounts as a form of social critique across English, Arabic, and Japanese, one that is collaboratively created by the users, architects, and policymakers of Twitter. Her new project takes a linguistic anthropological approach to the Internet of Things, drawing on global case studies to investigate how its nonhuman entities communicate—and, in so doing, socialize.

The Digital Asia Hub is an independent, non-profit Internet and society research think tank based in Hong Kong. Incubated by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and a diverse group of academic, civil society, and private sector partners, the Hub provides a non-partisan, open, and collaborative platform for research, knowledge sharing and capacity building related to Internet and Society issues with focus on digital Asia. The Hub also aims to strengthen effective multi-stakeholder discourse, with both local and regional activities, and will contribute to – and itself serve as a node of – a larger network of academic organizations: the Global Network of Internet & Society Centers (the “NoC”).
