Your Data Will Be Used Against You 
In a world where everything is data, everything is evidence. Sensor-driven technology, social media monitoring, and artificial intelligence can be
weaponized against democratic values and personal freedoms.

Guest: Andrew Guthrie Ferguson is Professor of Law at George Washington University Law School. He is a national expert on new surveillance technologies, predictive policing, facial recognition, video analytics, big data surveillance, the Internet of Things, juries, and the Fourth Amendment. He has written over 35 law review articles and book chapters on those and related topics. He is the author of three previous books, including The Rise of Big Data Policing and Why Jury Duty Matters. He also stars in the “Welcome to Jury Duty Video” in the DC Superior Court seen by more than 30,000 citizens annually. 

Prior to his career in academia, Professor Ferguson worked as a supervising attorney at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Law, summa cm laude, he clerked for the Honorable Chief Judge Carolyn Dineen King of the United States Court of Appeals. He is an elected member of the American Law Institute.
