The objective of the Dagstuhl Seminar “Mobility Data Analysis: from Technical to Ethical” – jointly organized by Bettina Berendt (IEA), Stan Matwin (DAL) and Chiara Renso (CNR) – was to start a deep interacting discussion between Mobility Data Analysis researchers and Ethics experts to link these two fields with the objective of creating the foundations of a new Mobility Data Ethics research field. Due to the COVID critical situation the meeting has be held online from January 9 to January 12, 2022.
The program included three tutorials:
– Location privacy: an overview by Sébastien Gambs (Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Canada)
– Mobility data analysis: ethical issues by Geoffrey Rockwell (University of Alberta, Canada)
– Connected vehicles and mobility data – work done by the EDPB by Peter Kraus (European Data Protection Board, Brussels, Belgium)
Twenty-five participants from the mobility and ethics world – inspired by the three tutorials – discussed some topics:
1) data utility and data privacy: which trade off?
2) Mobility Data Analysis Ethics beyond the data,
3) Ethics on mobility data: what is unique and which guidelines?
4) Mobile data anonymity: mobile data is never anonymous?
