INSY 509: Privacy, Security, and Ethics for Big Data

Unit(s): 3

The increasing number of networked information technologies—including the internet of things (IoT), wearables, ubiquitous sensing, social sharing platforms, and other AI-driven systems—are generating a tremendous amount of data about individuals, companies, and societies. These technologies offer enormous benefits but also create enormous risks to individual privacy and national security. Furthermore, the ease with which data can be collected from online sources, analyzed, and inferences drawn about individual users raises a wide range of ethical questions about these technologies, their creators, and their users. This course will provide ethics training to graduate students through an orientation to the topics in big data ethics to prepare students to become familiar with discussions and methods for developing ethical approaches to Information Systems research and applied projects.
