Irina Shklovski

Irina is an Associate Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen. Her projects address online information disclosure, creepy technologies and the sense of powerlessness people experience in the face of massive personal data collection. She is concerned with how everyday technologies are becoming increasingly “creepy” and how people come to normalize and ignore those feelings of discomfort. She coordinates an EU-funded collaborative project VIRT-EU, examining how IoT developers enact ethics in practice and looking to design interventions into the IoT development process to support ethical reflection on data and privacy in the EU.
