Big Data out of the box by Dr Caldarola

Dr Maria Cristi­na Cal­daro­la – Host of “Duet Interviews”

I am grate­ful to the many of you who pur­chased my book Big Data and Law, sub­se­quent to my post announc­ing the book’s pub­li­ca­tion in Eng­lish and Man­darin in addi­tion to the orig­i­nal Ger­man version.

The response from read­ers has been over­whelm­ing, under­scor­ing the need for more infor­ma­tion about legal, reg­u­la­to­ry and oth­er aspects of Big Data, as cur­rent events con­tin­ue to keep this top­ic in the headlines.

Clear­ly the top­ic of Big Data and GDPR is so vast and so dynam­ic that I’ve decid­ed to con­tin­ue shar­ing my exper­tise through a series of inter­views and blogs.

I will speak with experts about Big Data and ask them the burn­ing ques­tions we are all won­der­ing about con­cern­ing this provoca­tive topic.

Duet will be a series of month­ly blogs where I will be inter­view­ing not­ed guests on top­ics relat­ed to Big Data as well as GDPR.

I will be ask­ing legal, eth­i­cal, tech­ni­cal, geo-polit­i­cal and even philo­soph­i­cal ques­tions sur­round­ing Big Data today to start mean­ing­ful dis­cus­sions about why and how Big Data will impact our present and future lives.

My guests and I will exchange ideas, iden­ti­fy chal­lenges, pro­pose solu­tions and, in the process, make the sub­ject of Big Data more inspir­ing to you.

Be informed on these vital issues and fol­low me on this impor­tant journey!

Dr Rieke C. Harmsen

Just how free and inde­pen­dent are the media? Are the social net­work plat­forms the ones who are call­ing the shots? Is there still a way for media com­pa­nies to hold their ground by means of their news­pa­pers, mag­a­zines, and online offers?

in her Duet inter­view with Dr Rieke C. Harm­sen, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, dis­cuss­es the cur­rent influ­ence of digi­ti­sa­tion on jour­nal­ism and media.

Prof. Dr Den­nis Kip­ker – Pho­to: Jas­min Lindenthal

From a Chi­nese per­spec­tive, data is a pro­duc­tion fac­tor on par with land, labour and cap­i­tal. Shang­hai’s first data exchange is one of the ear­li­est exam­ples of this new pro­duc­tion fac­tor being imple­ment­ed. It aims at mak­ing the col­lec­tion and sale of data trans­par­ent and at enabling com­pa­nies which col­lect data to max­i­mize the val­ue and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of their busi­ness. The goal is to put data in the hands of entre­pre­neurs who can use it most effi­cient­ly – just as West­ern stock and bond mar­kets allo­cate sav­ings to the com­pa­nies that can gen­er­ate the high­est risk-adjust­ed returns. Since arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) is the engine of the fourth indus­tri­al rev­o­lu­tion, data is its fuel. Will there soon be a data exchange in Europe so that the EU can keep up in the ​​field of AI?

In the lat­est of her Duet inter­views, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, and IT-Expert Prof. Dr Den­nis-Ken­ji Kip­ker talk about the new data com­merce in Shanghai’s data exchange.

How will dig­i­tal busi­ness mod­els be taxed in the future?

Svet­lana Schiel – Pho­to: Daria Pushkina

Despite the fact that dig­i­tal busi­ness mod­els have cre­at­ed an unprece­dent­ed amount of share­hold­er val­ue in the last decade, they are taxed at a sur­pris­ing­ly low lev­el in the coun­tries where they have the most cus­tomers. This has become the sub­ject of heat­ed pub­lic debate and has led to a num­ber of reg­u­la­to­ry ini­tia­tives, such as the OECD’s ‘Base Ero­sion and Prof­it Shift­ing’ (BEPS) 2.0 project. What impact will that ini­tia­tive have on the rela­tion­ship between dig­i­tal ser­vice providers, con­sumers and tax author­i­ties? Will the use of blockchain tech­nol­o­gy bring new oppor­tu­ni­ties to cor­po­rate tax enforce­ment by using real-time infor­ma­tion from shared trust­ed data sources?

In the lat­est of her Duet series, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, and tax expert, Svet­lana Schiel, con­sid­er new devel­op­ments in cor­po­rate tax laws as well as relat­ed future challenges.
