The second day of ICCM 2013 in Nairobi, Kenya began with a panel hosted and moderated by Sanjana Hattotuwa, Special Advisor at the Foundation (read What’s so Big about Big Data? | Panel at ICCM 2013, Nairobi, Kenya for details).
Tweets produced on this day flagged a number of issues around
- the ethics and use of big data
- disambiguation of terms related to big and open data
- the pitfalls and challenges around early warning technologies
- the gap between early warning and the political will to act
- the challenge of assessing the impact of peacebuilding initiatives and
- the lack of any proper contextualisation of ICTs in contexts of violence, power and (partisan) politics.
