SRI Seminar Series: Norman Sadeh, “Privacy in the age of AI and the Internet of Things”

Our weekly SRI Seminar Series welcomes Norman Sadeh, a professor in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), director of CMU’s Mobile Commerce Laboratory and its e-Supply Chain Management Laboratory, and co-director of the MSIT Program in Privacy Engineering. Sadeh’s research focus is mobile and pervasive computing, cybersecurity, online privacy, user-oriented machine learning, and semantic web technologies. He is also well known for his seminal work in AI planning and scheduling, agent-based supply chain management, workflow management, automated trading, and negotiation, with products based on his research deployed, commercialized by, and influencing numerous major private and government organizations.

In this talk, Sadeh will present his recent research exploring how to overcome privacy challenges associated with contemporary data collection practices, and will describe some practical solutions aimed at empowering people to regain control over their data.
