Human Data Interaction

Our EPSRC Digital Economy NetworkPlus proposal on Human-Data Interaction has been funded! Watch out for announcements regarding events and calls for projects in this space.

Human-Data Interaction (HDI) is concerned with the increasingly pervasive data collection our lives are subject to, and the way this is opaque to most people. These data, collected about and by us, are analysed and inferences about our personalities and behaviour are drawn from the results and acted upon. We propose placing the human at the centre of these data flows, and providing mechanisms for citizens to interact with these systems explicitly.
