Månedens tema er: «Data collection, psychometric profiling and their
impact on politics» med Paul-Olivier Dehaye. Foredraget vil foregå på
engelsk. Kort om forelesningen:

  Most political campaigns are data-driven nowadays, and many are
  getting into profiling of individual voters. Recently, a company with
  a strong background in military PSYOPS has implemented technology
  developed at Cambridge University, to enable psychological profiling
  based on digital traces. They have then been embedded into some of the
  most surprising recent political campaigns: Ted Cruz's, Donald Trump's
  and Leave.EU (Brexit). I will outline my personal journey, first
  discovering the technology as a test subject for Cambridge University,
  then investigating this company as a complete amateur, and eventually
  contributing to an article shared globally.

  A background article based on this research was published by NRK
  Beta early in february 2017, see

Paul-Olivier Dehaye is a mathematician at the University of Zurich
working on interoperability tools enabling new forms of collaborative
work on mathematical data, knowledge and software. In his spare time, he
enjoys litigating (and especially winning!) against multibillion dollar
businesses for the defence of his fundamental right to data
protection. He is now leveraging that experience as co-founder of
PersonalData.IO[2], a service that helps individuals regain control
over their personal data.
