Privacy in the Era of 5G, IoT, Big Data, and Machine Learning

We have today a number of technologies that, when combined, can support unprecedented applications and significantly enhance existing applications. These technologies include 5G cellular networks, big data, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The combination of those technologies allows us to: a) increase our capacity for pervasive, fine-grained, and continuous data gathering and for the effective and efficient processing of these data (even with real-time guarantees); b) generate knowledge from data and continuously evolve this knowledge, thus supporting recommendation systems and decision processes-also accompanied by suitable explanations; and c) make devices, control systems, and cyberphysical systems intelligent and autonomous.
