Keynote: Privacy and Ads on the Emerging Agentic Web
Franziska Roesner
9:00-10:00
Abstract:
Over the last two or more decades, a key privacy issue on the web has been the collection and use of data in the context of targeted advertising. Members of the computer security and privacy research community (and adjacent communities) have done substantial work over that time to characterize (and improve) this ecosystem and its risks, including: assessing the privacy implications of online tracking and ad targeting, studying problematic (e.g., manipulative or adversarial) ad content and ad targeting, and exploring privacy-preserving ad mechanisms. In this talk, I will first overview research findings and ecosystem developments around privacy and the online advertising ecosystem up until now. Then, I will look to the future in this era of generative AI, considering how tracking and advertising may manifest in the emerging “agentic web” — in which users interact substantially with AI agents, and agents interact directly with other web content — and how the landscape of privacy and related risks may evolve.
Bio:
Franziska (Franzi) Roesner is the Brett Helsel Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, where she co-directs the Security and Privacy Research Lab. Her research focuses broadly on computer security and privacy for end users of existing and emerging technologies. Her work has studied topics including online tracking and advertising, security and privacy for marginalized and/or vulnerable user groups, security and privacy in emerging augmented reality (AR) and IoT platforms, and online trust and safety. She is the recipient of a Google Security and Privacy Research Award and a Google Research Scholar Award, a Consumer Reports Digital Lab Fellowship, an MIT Technology Review "Innovators Under 35" Award, an Emerging Leader Alumni Award from the University of Texas at Austin, and an NSF CAREER Award. She has received paper awards or runners-up at the USENIX Security Symposium, the IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy, the Internet Measurement Conference, the WebConf, the Annual Privacy Forum, and the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems; as well as Test of Time Awards at NSDI, the IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy, and USENIX Security. She currently serves on the USENIX Security steering committee. She received her PhD from the University of Washington in 2014 and her BS from UT Austin in 2008.
