BEYOND DATA - ELIZABETH M RENIERIS GEBUNDEN

Why laws focused on data cannot effectively protect people—and how an approach centered on
human rights offers the best hope for preserving human dignity and autonomy in a cyberphysical
world. Ever-pervasive technology poses a clear and present danger to human dignity and autonomy
as many have pointed out. And yet  for the past fifty years  we have been so busy protecting
data that we have failed to protect people. In Beyond Data  Elizabeth Renieris argues that laws
focused on data protection  data privacy  data security and data ownership have unintentionally
failed to protect core human values  including privacy. And  as our collective obsession with
data has grown  we have  to our peril  lost sight of what’s truly at stake in relation to
technological development—our dignity and autonomy as people. Far from being inevitable  our
fixation on data has been codified through decades of flawed policy. Renieris provides a
comprehensive history of how both laws and corporate policies enacted in the name of data
privacy have been fundamentally incapable of protecting humans. Her research identifies the
inherent deficiency of making data a rallying point in itself—data is not an objective truth 
and what’s more  its entirely contextual and dynamic” status makes it an unstable foundation
for organizing. In proposing a human rights–based framework that would center human dignity and
autonomy rather than technological abstractions  Renieris delivers a clear-eyed and radically
imaginative vision of the future. At once a thorough application of legal theory to technology
and a rousing call to action  Beyond Data boldly reaffirms the value of human dignity and
autonomy amid widespread disregard by private enterprise at the dawn of the metaverse.
