From data minimisation to minimisation of knowledge asymmetry

 

AmI depends on data maximisation and according to some authors urgently calls for a paradigm shift from the protection of data to the transparency of knowledge (Zarsky 2002-2003). Instead of focusing on the collection and storage of personal data we need to concentrate on the application of profiles. Minimising data will render an environment less intelligent, thus obstructing the objectives of AmI. If we are confronted with the realisation of AmI, we need an ambient law that directs it attention to transparency of profiles, which function like knowledge claims. Instead of spending all energy on PETs we should start investing in tools to establish minimisation of knowledge asymmetry (Jiang 2002).

 

These are central findings within workpacakge 7.
