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!

The symbiotic relationship between a person, his digital twin and avatar.
The future of work is going to be characterised by keywords, such as big data, automation, standardisation, job losses, the gap between rich and poor, the crumbling of the social market economy and many more similar terms. Is an unconditional basic income the key to innovation, an increase in GDP, and a new type of human and social coexistence? Does an unconditional basic income really finance itself because savings in administration and increased production due to automation can then cover the expenses? Who is going to pocket the bill for an unconditional income? The state or the wealthy elite ‑analogous to the “Giving Pledge”?
In a continuation of her Duet interviews, Dr Caldarola,author of Big Data and Law, talks to sociologist Prof. Dr Jürgen Schupp, co-author of the recent book “Basic Income – From the Vision to the Creeping Welfare State Transformation” 1, about the paradigm shift regarding unconditional income in the digital age.
Well-known people such as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Pope Leo VIII, Bismarck and Professors Röpke and Böckenförde claim that a market only works in a society of moral subjects because all human beings carry an impartial onlooker within themselves who makes itself felt when s/he does something unethical. With the advent of digitalisation, globalisation, automation, the use of algorithms, big data, industry 4.0, digital twins, avatars and robots, more and more technologies and objects are participating in a market which do not have any ethics of their own accord. If ethics are so important to the market and ethics is needed for the market to function, how do we preserve ethics? Will our future (still) be ethical?
In her latest Duet interview, Dr Caldarola,author of Big Data and Law, and noted pastor Prof. Dr Zeilinger discuss the connection between market and ethics.
If we accept Pablo Picasso’s provocative but remarkable statement that “good artists copy, but great artists steal…” then Big Data provides us with more opportunities “to steal”. The problem is then a matter of choice and decision. How does this align with Harold Bloom’s theory of intertextuality and the “anxiety of influence”?
In the latest of her Duet series of interviews, Dr Caldarola, author of Big Data and Law, and Christian MonjouM. Phil (Oxon.), connoisseur of art and bridge builder between art and management, consider what impact the digital revolution will have on art and innovation.
