Professor Martyn Thomas CBE explores some of the triumphs and pitfalls of Big Data http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/big-data-the-broken-promise-of-anonymisation
It is often claimed that your personal data is safe because it has been anonymised, but computer scientists know how easy it is to re-identify the individual by matching the data against other public datasets. Anonymised detailed personal data is a contradiction - a broken promise. The consequences and the alternatives will be discussed.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/big-data-the-broken-promise-of-anonymisation
