Dignitary Privacy

Every month, ETAI will be sharing a term or concept of the month that is related to ethical issues in biomedical research. The Term of the Month is part of our module's milestones relating to engagement and reflection on ethics with the AI-READI team.

Term of September 2023: Dignitary Privacy

“Dignitary privacy is based on a belief that privacy is intrinsically valuable, whereas resource privacy is based on a belief that privacy is simply a tool that has instrumental value.”

Hughes, RL David. "Two concepts of privacy." Computer Law & Security Review 31.4 (2015): 527-537.
