摘要
Profiling is not about data but about knowledge. It provides a crucial technology in a society that is flooded with noise and information. Profiling is another term for sophisticated pattern recognition, and the enabling technology for Ambient Intelligence. It confronts us with a new type of inductive knowledge, inferred by means of automated algorithms. To the extent that decisions that impact our lives are based on such knowledge, we need to develop the means to make this knowledge accessible for individual citizens and provide them with the legal and technological tools to anticipate and contest such knowledge or challenge its application.
