Human Evolution, Ethics and Open Source Mapping
summary
Panelists debate concrete tradeoffs: QGIS and OpenStreetMap enable low‑cost mapping used in typhoon response and indigenous mapping, governments vary — New Zealand opens building footprints while Australia’s remains restricted, Digital Earth Australia publishes national imagery, and proprietary flood models cost companies tens of millions to build and stay closed. Concerns center on re‑identification from phone traces, the Office of the National Data Commissioner and banking APIs promise more citizen control, and live polling reveals geography and ethnicity as urgent diversity gaps.
