While most stakeholders paint the promise of ambient intelligence (AmI) in sunny colours, there is a dark side to AmI as well. In a way, this dark side is inherent in the very nature of AmI. Intelligent networks embedded everywhere will enable data aggregators to acquire a lot more personal information, far more than in today’s world, greatly magnifying the risk of abuse of that data. Most AmI scenarios show the benefits of AmI. The dark scenarios developed by the SWAMI project (Safeguards in a World of Ambient Intelligence) , one of which follows, are different from most other AmI …

Privacy 2.0 ?, Gloria González Fuster, Serge Gutwirth
Serge Gutwirth
Les différentes pratiques qui sont généralement regroupées sous le terme « web 2.0 » représentent sans aucun doute un défi majeur pour la protection de la vie privée et la protection de données personnelles. Ce défi ne découle cependant pas que des traits particuliers du phénomène « web 2.0 » en tant que tel, c’est-à-dire, en tant que phénomène reposant sur la participation active des utilisateurs à la création et au fonctionnement de sites ou applications. Il est aussi fortement lié au fait que le « web 2.0 » se place au cœur d’une dynamique globale de numérisation croissante aussi …
The Trouble With Technology Regulation From A Legal Perspective. Why Lessig’S ‘Optimal Mix’ Will Not Work, Serge Gutwirth, Paul De Hert, Laurent De Sutter
The Trouble With Technology Regulation From A Legal Perspective. Why Lessig’S ‘Optimal Mix’ Will Not Work, Serge Gutwirth, Paul De Hert, Laurent De Sutter
Serge Gutwirth
In the present chapter we argue that to try to cope with new technologies with the concept of regulation is problematic from a legal point of view. Lawrence Lessig’s approach of ‘regulation’ as the ‘optimal mix of technology, law, social norms and market mechanisms’ should be complexified, as those modalities have different aims, functions and rationales. In view of a critical discussion of Lessig’s concept of regulation, we introduce Isabelle Stengers’ view of what defines a practice in general and Bruno Latour’s view on what defines the legal practice in particular. Law, science and politics have different constraints and conditions …
Legal Pluralism And Islam In The Scales Of The European Court Of Human Rights : The Limits Of Categrorical Balancing, Karen Meerschaut, Serge Gutwirth
Legal Pluralism And Islam In The Scales Of The European Court Of Human Rights : The Limits Of Categrorical Balancing, Karen Meerschaut, Serge Gutwirth
Serge Gutwirth
Starting from the Refah v. Turkey case we dig deeper in the issue of conflicting rights in pluralist legal systems, comparing the Strasbourg Court’s case law with solutions devised in the Malaysian legal system. Legal pluralism generally includes a set of tensions between the minorities’ rights to live following their own norms and rules (article 27 ICCPR and article 8 ECHR), the religious freedom (article 9 ECHR) and, the equality and non-discrimination principles. The idea of the separation of state and church and the principle of secularism are also often brought up as an argument against legal pluralism. How to …
The Contribution Of The Article 29 Working Party To The Construction Of A Harmonised European Data Protection System: An Illustration Of 'Reflexive Governance'?, Yves Poullet, Serge Gutwirth
The Contribution Of The Article 29 Working Party To The Construction Of A Harmonised European Data Protection System: An Illustration Of 'Reflexive Governance'?, Yves Poullet, Serge Gutwirth
Serge Gutwirth
The Art. 29 Working Party, which brings together representatives of the different national supervisory Data Protection Authorities, is a body responsible for giving advice and making recommendations to the European institutions on specific data protection issues. It works closely with the Commission. At European level, no similar institution has been established for example as regards consumer or environmental protection, although some national legislations do provide for supervisory bodies in these matters . To put it a little bit bluntly, it could be said that Art. 29 of the Data Protection Directive has officially installed a kind of ‘privacy lobby group’ …
