I really hope so. Maybe this will yield better privacy-preserving schemes for data analysis and recommendation engines. Necessity is the mother of invention (or whatever the equivalent idiom is in English).
I think I'm hardly making an original argument, but a big problem is binding Compute and Data, so companies have an incentive to hoard as much data as possible and keep it hostage. Feels like deep down that's the whole valuation of Silicon Valley
Didn't know Prio, seems like an interesting approach. I also would like to work with these problems someday. As a layman, I'd love to see something like fully homomorphic encryption taking over.
But in the end, IMHO what really needs to happen is to enable full data ownership. The semantic web, there was also another project by Tim Berners Lee...
