LITTLE Issues with big Data

Co-sponsored by: Boston Life Members

Big Data is one of the areas in computing that is just, well,  getting bigger

However it exposes a number of issues that folks doing “Data Engineering” need to consider – from bit rot to legal issues like ownership, privacy, disclosure and liability. Presidential elections since 1960 have triggered big data driven investments. Consumer behavior is now tracked at the individual level, and tracking many more “data points” than you might anticipate.  But Big Data is also a path towards environmental protection, detecting emergence of disease, and validating medical research.

Jim will provide some historical context that shines a light on recent, current and future issues facing corporations, software developers, but also managers, lawyers and the public in general.
