The Laws Of Digital Data, Content And Artificial Intelligence

The University of Law

Online we constantly agree to give our personal data away in exchange for better experiences or the ability to access different services or platforms. Companies therefore are obligated to use that data lawfully and ethically. But do they? (And as marketers, do we?)

To understand the laws of cyberspace, we have to start by understanding the laws of personal data: when it is OK for companies to use our personal data and when it is not OK.

I’m in this course to gain expertise in the nuances of GDPR (and UK GDPR, the Briton version that arose post-Brexit), which impacts brands in the EU as well as brands that do business with people who live in the EU.

Designing For A Diverse And Inclusive Future

Corporate diversity is a famous concept—but still, “one of the most lucrative industries in the world is run almost entirely by white men” (L.A. Times). We can change the world with technology, but not before addressing its gaps in representation. And not just gender or racial gaps—also those in culture, class, ideas, values, abilities and disabilities.

I enrolled in this course—part of a four-part program about how we can make design more helpful in pedagogy and less socially isolating—to learn more about my own blind spots, as a marketer and a human.

My goals are to learn:

• What I can do in my daily life to be more anti-prejudiced

• How people can change the system—often, it’s just by making it easier for others to learn new skills

• How to spot and challenge standards or expectations that might be biased

Life is intersectional, so how we work and think should be too.
