TATAS - Vertrauen und Transparenz im Zeitalter der Überwachung: US-amerikanische, deutsche und polnische Perspektiven
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Overall, the project reached all of its goals and produced the edited volume originally envisioned. The final product is of high quality and brings an original and nuanced contribution to the broader debate on surveillance, trust, and transparency. In addition, we also reached our goal of including practitioners and a chapter that makes substantive policy recommendations regarding best practices. When we began the project, there was much critique of government surveillance but much more acceptance for surveillance and data collection by large platform companies. The TATAS book contributes to a more critical discussion of platform companies (e.g. Alphabet, Meta, Amazon) and the political economy behind surveillance. Also worthy of mention is the inclusion of contributions that engage with the racialization of surveillance practices, a topic that has become even more urgent with regard to the development of Al technology for border control. Overall, the book is at the forefront of an emerging literature that thinks critically both about the political uses of technology as weil as about transparency as a solution to the overreach of state and technical power. After the publication of the TAT AS book, a number of other publications have picked up on these themes and the TATAS book chapters have been cited in related work. The main surprise and challenge faced by the project was the COVID pandemic. We were lucky to have already had our main events in person, without which we would not have been able to complete this project. Nevertheless, the lockdowns slowed the publication process. At the same time, the debates around COVID surveillance technology and the changing nature of remote and online work opened up new areas of relevance for the project. We were able to include some reflections on these new areas of relevance in the conclusion of the book.
