Spokes: SMALL: SOUTH: Smart Privacy for Smart Cities: A Research Collaborative to Protect Privacy and Use Data Responsibly

今天的城市和社区及其居民之间的联系越来越紧密，决策由可操作的实时数据提供信息。数据正在使现代城市和当地社区变得更快、更安全，以及更可持续、更宜居和更公平。与此同时，智慧城市技术引发了人们对个人隐私、自主权、选择和可能的滥用的担忧。政府官员提出了一些重要的问题，比如谁应该拥有数据，面向公众的技术的隐私保护如何运作，谁以及如何与公众就隐私问题进行沟通，等等。该项目的长期愿景是帮助市政领导以负责任的方式加强收集、使用和共享数据的能力。这将有助于在跨应用程序和地理边界的情况下为公共利益发展保护隐私的创新。通过这种方式，智慧城市智能隐私演讲将有助于增加公众对隐私相关问题的知识、理解和参与，并最终促进公众对智能城市技术和地方政府的信任。它将开展三项相互关联的活动，帮助城市/社区创新者理解隐私考虑和保护，并将其纳入智慧城市项目。首先，Spoke将为智慧城市项目制定隐私风险评估框架，包括指导应实施哪些政策、做法和问责结构，以及如何权衡新的或扩展的数据技术的好处与随之而来的隐私和安全风险。该框架将设有身份识别部分，因为身份识别是各组织可以采取的以保护隐私的方式保护和共享数据的主要措施之一。其次，SPEED将为智能城市和社区建立隐私领导者网络，帮助市政官员更好地了解、沟通和协作解决隐私问题和原则。最后，发言者将与MetroLab Network合作举办两个讲习班，MetroLab Network是一个由40多个城市-大学伙伴关系组成的全国性网络，旨在推动应对城市挑战的技术方法。讲习班将有助于启动隐私领袖网络；教育网络成员了解隐私风险评估框架；并确定进一步合作和研究的领域，特别是在将框架应用于具体技术和数据用途方面。预期的项目成果包括广泛传播隐私风险评估框架并在特定地区采用该框架；通过隐私领袖网络和相关研讨会发展新的合作和伙伴关系；以及作为总体成果，推动民间领袖对隐私保护的知识、理解和应用(S)朝着智能城市和隐私的实践标准迈进。该项目将支持和利用枢纽网络，特别是南方大数据枢纽、NSF的智能互联社区计划和城市-大学合作伙伴的MetroLab网络。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Today's cities and communities, and their residents, are increasingly connected, and decisions are informed by actionable, real-time data. Data is making modern cities and local communities faster and safer, as well as more sustainable, livable, and equitable. At the same time, smart city technologies raise concerns about individuals' privacy, autonomy, choice, and possible misuse. Government officials are raising important questions about who should own data, how privacy protections for public-facing technologies work, who and how to communicate with the public about privacy, and more. The long-term vision of the project is to help municipal leaders strengthen their ability to collect, use, and share data in a responsible manner. This will help grow privacy-preserving innovations across applications and geographic boundaries for the public good. In this way, the Smart Privacy for Smart Cities Spoke will serve to increase public knowledge, understanding and engagement with privacy-related concerns, and ultimately promote the public's trust in smart city technologies and in their local government.The Smart Privacy for Smart Cities Spoke is a collaborative project led by the FPF Education and Innovation Foundation (FPF EIF). It will undertake three interrelated activities to help city/community innovators understand and incorporate privacy considerations and protections into smart city projects. First, the Spoke will produce a privacy risk assessment framework for smart city projects, including guidance on what policies, practices and accountability structures should be put in place and how to weigh benefits of new or expanded data techniques against attendant privacy and security risks. The framework will feature a de-identification component as de-identification is one of the primary measures that organizations can take to protect and share data in a privacy-preserving manner. Second, the Spoke will establish a network of privacy leaders for smart cities and communities, helping municipal officials better understand, communicate, and collaboratively address privacy issues and principles. Lastly, the Spoke will hold two workshops in partnership with MetroLab Network, a national network of 40+ city-university partnerships advancing technological approaches to urban challenges. The workshops will serve to launch the privacy leaders network; educate network members about the privacy risk assessment framework; and identify areas for further collaboration and research, particularly in applying the framework to specific technologies and data uses. Expected project outcomes include wide dissemination of the privacy risk assessment framework and its adoption in specific localities; development of new collaborations and partnerships through the privacy leaders network and associated workshops; and as an overall outcome, the advancement of civic leaders' knowledge, understanding, and application of privacy protection(s) toward standards of practice for smart cities and privacy. The project will support and leverage the Hub Network, in particular the South Big Data Hub, NSF's Smart and Connected Communities program, and the MetroLab Network of city-university partners.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
