Millenium or The Technological Odyssey " - Grand Amphithéâtre
Chairman
: Mr Bruce Slane, Privacy Commissioner for New Zealand biography
2001, Space Odyssey,
- Stanley Kubrick had forecast the " thinking machine ", but he had not envisaged
miniaturisation. Where are we at in technological progress? Computer science is
barely 50 years old, but it is a technological " jump " we risk witnessing. Infinite
memorisation, abolished distances, extreme miniaturisation, and widespread use
of " chips " : the " all numeric ", associated with networks and remote contacts,
questions our real or virtual identity. The stakes and the perspectives are discussed
by people in the business. Is there room for a new humanism?

- " Biometrics and Face Recognition " - Richelieu Amphitheater
Chairman
: Mr Paul Thomas, President of the Data Protection Commission for Belgium
The
biometric tehnologies are one of frontier technology sectors in high tech. Furthermore,
the technologies in face recognition renew the debate on video-surveillance. The
Borough of Newham, a working class district of London, implemented the software
designed to alert video-surveillance operators when a wanted person was recognized
due to the biometrics technique. The project, which gave rise to enormous controversy
has been presented by its inventors as being particularly efficient: the number
of crimes and offences are reported to have decreased by more than 20%. In January
2001 the American authorities of Florida used the same system during the " Superbowl
" championship. Supposing that the efficiency of this police technique really
has been established, does this not make us risk enlarging the perimeter of video-surveillance
considerably ? Should we all be on probation ?

GPS,
GSM: we can be localised thanks to our intelligent vehicle or through our mobile
telephone. Even the traditional Holy Week processions in Seville used the technique
to localise the statue of Our Lady of Macarena ! Offers of " geolocalising " services
are multiplying. For a while, an Internet access provider offered the possibility
of localising a close relation thanks to his mobile 'phone number. Where are we
at concerning technologies and offers of services ? What will remain of our freedom
?

Initiatives for fighting against cybercrime and for

: a project for a convention by the Council of Europe, communication by the European
Commission, work by the G8, the " Carnivore " project by the USA, and lively reactions
by internauts all over the world. Has the right balance between what is demanded
by security and what is demanded by the respect for our personal liberty been
reached ? This session should allow us to establish a panorama of national legislations
covering interception of communications, duration of storage of traffic data,
and modes of redress of any infringements of a third person's rights.

Chairman :
Mrs Elizabeth France, Information Commissioner, UK - Contribution
Between the development of
recruitment tests, which in some of our countries go as far as testing for drugs,
and the " cybersurveillance " allowed by working in networks, the space reserved
for privacy and personal freedom in the workplace could become considerably reduced.
Nevertheless, private life does not stop at the entrance to our offices or factories.

Will
the medical secret resist the new demands of the collective interest, whether
it concerns eradicating contagious diseases, developing medical and epidemiology
research, or, more and more frequently, " rationalizing " health expenditure,
whether by the State or by the private sector ? Exclusion, discrimination, refusal
of insurance : where are the real risks ? At the same time, a demand for personal
safety may lead us to require that our medical file should follow us at all times,
be accessible from anywhere in the world by Internet, or be in our pocket on a
microchip card. How can we reconcile this new accessibility to our medical data
with the respect for the medical secret ?

- Contribution
Electronic
voting systems have wider access to public information, the new technologies can
be put at the service of democracy. Internet and network technologies are some
of the tools. But, do the systems of electronic voting allow us to ensure the
secret of our convictions and to preserve social links, without which the expression
of general will would only be virtual ? Does the diffusion of personal data on
Internet not abolish the " right to be forgotten " or " the right to a second
chance " ? These are some of the challenges of " electronic democracy ".

- " Company Changes, Personalisation of Services "- Richelieu Amphitheater
Chairman : Mr Malcolm Crompton, Federal Privacy Commissioner for Australia
Our
personal data have commercial value, and client and prospect files are now part
of a company's capital. Concentrations and mergers: these company changes are
sometimes dictated by the simple desire to seize a file and become its owner.
Knowing as much as possible about the behaviour of a client in order to solicit
him deliberately and to propose services adapted to his supposed expectations:
that is the object of " commercial targeting ". Is the only objective of inter-connecting
client files to inconvenience us as little as possible ? What are the rules of
the game ? What are the guarantees ? What is the protection ? What are the rights
?

"
One World, One Privacy " was the title of the XXII 22nd International Conference
in Venice. The agreements made between the EU and the USA, under the name of "
Safe Harbor ", will have marked the international scene. Furthermore, personal
data protection has progressed all over the world, as has the vigilance of " citizen
consumers " concerning their rights. From where stems this desire for protection
faced with the processing of personal data and with the new technologies ?
