Nobel Laureate Jean Tirole at HEC Paris Tonight for an HEC Talks Session on the Future of Digital Privacy

HEC Paris is proud to host an exclusive HEC Talks session tonight featuring Nobel Laureate in Economics, Professor Jean Tirole, from the Toulouse School of Economics. Renowned for his profound contributions to the field of economics, Professor Tirole will deliver a compelling lecture on the evolving landscape of privacy in our digital age.

As we navigate the complexities introduced by AI, facial recognition, smart cities, and other technological advancements, questions about data privacy, ownership, and the broader implications for society have become increasingly urgent. Tonight, Professor Tirole will explore the economic underpinnings of privacy issues, including the challenges of consumer surplus extraction and the societal impacts of technologies that influence individual behaviors and societal norms.

The lecture will also cover critical topics such as the right to be forgotten, social credit scores, and the rise of techno-authoritarianism, offering insightful perspectives on safeguarding personal privacy in a rapidly digitizing world.

This HEC Talks event will take place at the Amphi Bellon on the HEC Paris campus and will also be streamed live on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook. This provides a unique opportunity for both in-person and online audiences to engage with one of the most influential economic thinkers of our time.

Join us tonight at 7 pm in Amphi Bellon or watch the live stream on our social media platforms to gain valuable insights into these pressing issues and participate in a live Q&A session with Professor Tirole.
