Monitoring report on emerging ethical challenges in the developing and implementing the system: Deliverable D2.3 of the LASIE [LArge Scale Information Exploitation of Forensic Data] project

The purpose of this Deliverable is to provide an updated report to the partners of the LASIE consortium on any changes of technological, regulatory and societal nature that might be of importance for the LASIE prototype, its further development and deployment. The work reported in this Deliverable was conducted under WP2 as part of task T2.2 (Privacy Monitoring).
The structure of the present Deliverable, as of its predecessor, contains five main sections, preceded by an introduction. It starts, in Section 2, with an updated report on the technological change. The next two sections (3-4) report on the regulatory (and, in particular, legislative) and societal changes, respectively. These parts of this report cover a period since Deliverable D2.2 was produced in August 2016 (M28) until the end of the project, i.e. October 2017 (M42). Subsequently, this Deliverable moves on to reporting from four seminars where various topics relating to the societal implications of the LASIE project were discussed. These seminars were organised by and held at PRIO’s premises in Oslo, Norway during 2016 and 2017 (Section 5). In the final section (6) we provide once again recommendations drawn from the above-mentioned analysis, and formulate advice on how best to take into consideration the societal issues facing the LASIE project (privacy, data protection, ethical considerations, etc.).
