Privacy, Security, and Trust: Key Themes at CS3 Innovation Summit
Outcome/Accomplishment
Experts from government, academia, industry, and the local community gathered for discussions on advancing community-driven, hyperlocal smart city technology in an innovation summit sponsored by the Center for Smart Streetscapes (NSF CS3), a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Engineering Research Center (ERC) based at Columbia University.
Impact/Benefits
Attendees at the inaugural NSF CS3 Innovation Summit discussed a diverse array of technical innovations and policy considerations necessary for implementing smart streetscapes. The summit emphasized strengthening and growing the partnerships that make the Center’s vision a reality.
Explanation/Background
The use of technology to ensure safety — particularly for pedestrians — was a key theme at the summit. Participants also discussed how, despite the promise of increased safety and convenience, previous iterations of these systems have sparked controversy. Discussions focused on developing technologies with privacy by design and community engagement standards that strengthen privacy and community support.
