Description

The Brussels Privacy Hub is proud to announce the next installment in its Meet the Author Series, held for the first time in two years in-person. This time, the Hub will host Prof. Jaap-Henk Hoepman (Radboud University Nijmegen- iHub, University of Groningen) with his book ”Privacy Is Hard and Seven Other Myths – Achieving Privacy through Careful Design“. The event will take place on 30 May 2022, between 12:00-14:00 (with lunch from 12:00 – 12:30) at U-Residence on the VUB Campus (Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussels).

In his book, Prof. Jaap-Henk Hoepman debunks eight persistent myths about privacy. He thereby disproves the argument that privacy needs to be hard, arguing that if systems are carefully build with privacy by design in mind, technology might be able to protect our privacy. This is a relevant argument also for the context of the discussions about the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) currently ongoing within the European bubble.
