Summary:

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) publishes TechSonar reports to anticipate emerging technology trends from a data protection perspective. The reports aim to contribute to the wider debate on foresight within the European institutions. The TechSonar methodology is grounded on a set of dashboards developed by Tim Analytics of the Joint Research Centre, which informs the "Initial scouting"" phase of the report. The reports are part of the EDPS's efforts to monitor emerging technologies and provide in-depth analysis through TechDispatch reports.
