These new forms of targeting present hug e opportunities to make valuable interventions more effective\, for exampl e by delivering public services to those most in need of them. However\, t he use of more fine-grained information about individuals and groups also raises huge risks\, challenging key notions of privacy\, fairness\, and au tonomy. \n\nThis evening event will commence with a lecture by David Still well (University Lecturer in Data Analytics & Quantitative Social Science and Deputy Director of the Psychometrics Centre)\, who will speak about th e use of psychometrics in personalised targeting.\n\nThe lecture will be f ollowed by a panel discussion\, including:\n\nDr Nóra Ní Loideáin (Dire ctor and Lecturer in Law of the Information Law and Policy Centre at the I nstitute for Advanced Legal Studies\, University of Cambridge)\nProfessor Dame Theresa Marteau (Director of Behaviour and Health Research Unit\, Uni versity of Cambridge)\nDr Jeffrey M.
