Abstract
“Big Data” es conocido comúnmente como la tecnología disruptiva de las cinco “v”: volumen, variedad, velocidad, valor y veracidad, que se vale de un nuevo tipo de análisis de datos, consistente en la identificación de patrones conductuales y que, como consecuencia de ello, delimita un nuevo conocimiento sobre el individuo. Si bien Big Data supone una herramienta informática muy útil para sectores tales como el mercadotécnico, el sanitario, ambiental y el científico, entre otros, es innegable la situación de riesgo en la que se sitúan algunos bienes jurídicos como la información personal o el libre desarrollo de la personalidad a través del uso de Big Data. Los perfiles conductuales son utilizados como herramientas de selección y exclusión tanto de individuos como de grupos humanos, lo que puede llevar a la toma de decisiones basadas únicamente en criterios algorítmicos y con graves consecuencias para las personas. Esta posibilidad de “clasificación personal” puede poner en serio riesgo el valor más esencial de nuestro sistema jurídico-político, la dignidad humana
Big Data is commonly known as the disruptive technology of the five “v”: volume, variety, speed, value and veracity, which uses a new type of data analysis, consisting of the identification of behavioral patterns and, as a consequence of it, it delimits a new knowledge about the individual. Although Big Data is a very useful computer tool for sectors such as the marketing, sanitary, environmental and scientific, among others, it is undeniable the risk situation in which some legal assets such as personal information or free development are located of personality through the use of Big Data. Behavioral profiles are used as selection and exclusion tools for both individuals and human groups, which can lead to decisions based solely on algorithmic criteria and with serious consequences for people. This possibility of “personal classification” can seriously jeopardize the most essential value of our legal-political system, human dignity.
