Is it time for a bill of data rights?
Our weekly podcast on the innovations, discoveries and gadgetry making the news
IN THIS week’s episode of “Babbage”, we ask whether individuals should have rights over their data that are protected, like human rights. Kenneth Cukier speaks to Martin Tisné, the man behind the idea. We also travel to the outer regions of the universe in an interview with Jo Dunkley of Princeton University. We ask her about her research in cosmology and astrophysics, and the origins and evolution of the universe. Finally, why are the oceans turning a different shade of blue? Stephanie Dutkiewicz of MIT explains why the increase in global temperature might be the culprit.
