L’Atelier is a prospective research subsidiary of BNP Paribas Group that investigates and identifies new and emerging technology-related markets, with an intention to create solutions and IP relevant to those areas.
In partnership with Envisioning, we mapped 60+ technologies related to privacy and developed an interactive storytelling scenario in which we show how such technologies may affect our lives in the near future. Each of the 60+ technologies was assessed using NASA’s Technology Readiness Level (TRL) method, leveraged according to their maturity on a scale from 1 (basic principles being tested) to 9 (technology is already being incorporated into our lives).
Envisioning is a virtual research institute that provides technological foresight to decision makers worldwide. Our global team of academics, hackers and designers studies technologies to understand the acceleration of change. In this research, we aim to raise awareness about how complex and abstract this society can be with regard to privacy, and provide the tools to support more cognisant decisions about the usage and sharing of data.
