Smart city platforms–encompassing mobile apps, cameras, sensors, algorithms, and predictive analytics—generate troves of data on residents. Research suggests that excessive surveillance reinforces a sense of insecurity and leads residents to fear civil liberties violations, particularly among communities of color. Our digital rights platform will empower community members by granting them agency over how the City collects, uses and stores their personal data. The platform will be designed collaboratively with hundreds of Long Beach residents participating in a civic user testbed and other qualitative data collection. The platform will feature text and open-source iconography that visually conveys how the City of Long Beach uses specific technologies, what data these technologies collect and how the City utilizes that data. We plan to strategically deploy signage across Long Beach, physically adjacent to or digitally embedded within civic technologies, e.g., sensors, cameras, mobile payment kiosks, a 311 app. The platform will include a QR code or hyperlink that take users to an online dashboard where they may learn additional details, update data collection preferences, and share comments and concerns with local officials—giving residents a clear understanding of how local government collects, analyzes, shares, and retains their personal data. This digital rights platform will feature text and the open-source iconography that visually conveys how the City of Long Beach uses specific smart technologies, what data these technologies collect and how the City utilizes that data. The platform considers the technical, legal, ethical, and spatial aspects of smart technologies. Grounded in frameworks of trust and contextual integrity, the project is focused on the City’s vision to use data in ethical ways that avoid reinforcing existing racial biases and discriminatory decision-making. Specifically, we plan to strategically deploy signage across Long Beach, physically adjacent to or digitally embedded within civic technologies, e.g., sensors, cameras, mobile payment kiosks, a 311 app. The platform will include a QR code or hyperlink that take users to an online dashboard where they may learn additional details, update data collection preferences, and share comments and concerns with local officials. We plan to work with smart city technology developers to create a software solution that will, ultimately, enable residents to opt out of data collection. The project will inform novel accountability strategies meant to ensure that wildly disparate smart city technologies—each employed for a distinct purpose—respect residents’ data privacy and avoid discriminatory impacts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

智慧城市平台（包括移动应用程序、摄像头、传感器、算法和预测分析）生成大量有关居民的数据。研究表明，过度监控会加剧不安全感，并导致居民担心公民自由受到侵犯，尤其是在有色人种社区。我们的数字权利平台将赋予社区成员权力，让他们有权决定市政府如何收集、使用和存储他们的个人数据。该平台将与参与公民用户测试平台和其他定性数据收集平台的数百名长滩居民合作设计。将要特色文本和开源图像直观地传达了长滩市如何使用特定技术、这些技术收集哪些数据以及该市如何利用这些数据。民用技术，例如传感器、摄像头、移动支付亭、311 应用程序。该平台将包括一个 QR 码或超链接，可将用户带到在线仪表板，在那里他们可以了解更多详细信息、更新数据收集偏好并分享评论和担忧。和当地官员——让居民清楚地了解地方政府如何收集、汇总、共享和保留他们的个人数据。该数字权利平台将采用文本和开源图像，直观地传达长滩市如何使用特定的智能技术。 、这些技术收集哪些数据以及城市如何利用这些数据。该平台以信任和环境完整性框架为基础，考虑了智能技术的技术、法律、道德和空间方面，重点关注城市的使用愿景。以合乎道德的方式收集数据，避免具体来说，我们计划在长滩战略性地部署标牌，这些标牌物理上邻近或数字地嵌入到公民技术中，例如传感器、摄像头、移动支付亭、311 应用程序。一个二维码或超链接，可将用户带到在线仪表板，在那里他们可以了解更多详细信息，更新数据收集偏好，并与当地官员分享意见和担忧。我们计划与智慧城市技术开发商合作，创建一个软件解决方案，最终，将使居民能够选择退出数据收集。该项目将提供新颖的问责策略，旨在确保截然不同的智慧城市技术（每种技术用于不同的目的）尊重居民的数据隐私并避免歧视性影响。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
