*Event title:*
Data usage by Big Government: What we are doing, what can be done and the
privacy concerns for the next few years.
*Event description:*
We are going to discuss one major point here: what are the limits between
the data gathering by the governments to develop public policies and the
privacy of the citizens. To illustrate the discussions, we are going to
briefly describe two big data project in Brazil: the Supremo em Números
(Supreme Court in Numbers) and the Big Data Team - PENSA of the Rio de
Janeiro City Hall.
The first one is a typical civic hacking project, developed in the
academia, to capture and analyze more than 1.2 million cases from the
Brazilian Supreme Court website. We are going to see how those data were
used to improve the quality of the public services and the consequent
results already achieved, like a proposal of amendment of the Brazilian
Constitution. The second case we are going to present is the Big Data Team
- PENSA, of the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, and the public policies which are
being developed with the gathering and the analysis of large data sets,
like Waze reports, buses' GPSs and Call Detail Records - CDRs from mobile
phones, among others.
Finally, considering what the governments are already doing and what can be
done in the next few years, we are going to discuss what would be the ideal
regulatory framework to, at the same same, allow a responsible data usage
by the governments and how it could be done without affect the privacy of
the citizens.
