Information Consumers

Big data and analytics have not only changed how businesses interact with consumers, but also how consumers interact with the larger world. Smart cities, IoT, cloud, and edge computing technologies are all enabled by data and can provide significant societal benefits via efficiencies and reduction of waste. However, data breaches have also caused serious harm to customers by exposing personal information. Consumers often are unable to make informed decisions about their digital privacy because they are in a position of asymmetric information. There are an increasing number of privacy regulations to give consumers more control over their data. This chapter provides an overview of data privacy regulations, including GDPR. In today's globalized economy, the patchwork of international privacy regulations is difficult to navigate, and, in many instances, fails to provide adequate business certainty or consumer protection. This chapter also discusses current research and implications for costs, data-driven innovation, and consumer trust.

And Training

The training offer of official statistics in statistical training institutes has been constantly evolving as it adapts to the statistical environment and technological developments. Based on a literature review and the mobilisation of curricula and programmes offered by statistical training centres in Africa, this paper presents the current situation of training in official statistics as well as the challenges to be faced. Despite harmonisation efforts, there are still differences between language areas and training types. Engineer and vocational statistical training are better suited to the needs of National Statistical Institutes than university training. It is essential that the training of statisticians is strategically thought out so that they can be reactive and dynamic in the face of changes and upheavals they will be confronted with in the context of data revolution and big data. Their training should reinforce the statistical literacy dimension with a view to reducing the gap between producers and users.

Insight Into

Question consciousness and practice orientation are the fundamental focus of the development and innovation of ideological and political education. We should have an insight into the penetration of big data into the development and innovation of ideological and political education, and reflect on the current situation of the response of ideological and political education to big data in the development process. Especially, in the rumination of the failed experience, we are enlightened to take the basic theory of Marxism as the guide, take the basic laws, fundamental principles and essence of ideological and political education as the leading factor, and take the technical advantages, carrier advantages and thinking advantages of big data as the support, so as to deeply study the basic point, direction and rationale of the integration of big data and ideological and political education, and deepen the integration of big data and ideological and political education. This will help to further enhance the sense of the times, appeal and timeliness of ideological and political education, and contribute to the better realization of the optimization and upgrading of the national governance system and implementation of the fundamental task of cultivating people by virtue.
