    Our current data ecosystem leaves individuals, groups, and society vulnerable to a wide range of harms, ranging from privacy violations to subversion of autonomy to discrimination to erosion of trust in institutions. In this talk, I’ll discuss the Data Co-ops Project, a multi-institution, multi-disciplinary effort I co-lead with Kobbi Nissim. The Project seeks to organize our understanding of these harms and to coordinate a set of technical and legal approaches to addressing them. In particular, I’ll mention recent joint work with Ayelet Gordon and Alex Wood, wherein we argue that legal and technical tools aimed at controlling data and addressing privacy concerns are inherently insufficient for addressing the full range of these harms.
