In this evolving landscape, it is critical for business leaders and policymakers to assess the societal impact of platforms.

Panel on the Regulation of Privacy in the U.S.
September 17, 2024 | 4 - 5:30 p.m.
Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center, 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20001
Companies now collect, analyze, repackage, and sell extraordinary amounts of data on customers. For instance, companies now track and sell data ranging from person-level records of smart phone locations over time to what people search for online. While this offers the promise of data-driven decisions, new products, and targeted advertisements, it also heightens concerns about privacy.
Business leaders, policymakers, and researchers alike are grappling with how and when to thoughtfully approach issues of data and privacy.
On September 17, Professor Itay Fainmesser (Carey) moderated a discussion with Alessandro Bonatti (MIT), Laura Brandimorte (University of Arizona), Alejandro Rosenberg (Federal Trade Commission), and Daniel Sokol (University of Southern California) on the economics of privacy, including a discussion of recent research on privacy, as well as current and upcoming federal and states' regulations.
