Abstract

The rapid developments in the front of emerging technologies, such as Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Internet of Things, pose certain challenges for societies that are trying to keep up with the changes these technologies introduce. As a consequence, significant concerns are being raised in relation to such developments. One of the most widely debated and discussed issue in relation to the latter, has to do with the potential threats to personal information privacy. This paper briefly introduces some of the related emerging technologies and explores some of the expressed concerns on information privacy and disclosure in the U.A.E. in this context. In addition, related research themes that could be interesting to explore in the future are being identified, with a focus on the local socioeconomic environment.
