COVID19 and AI: Ethics and Data Rights Panel | AISC & NYAI
7For slides and more information on the paper, visit https://aisc.ai.science/events/2020-04-30-covid-data-rights-panel
There has been a dramatic and sudden shift in the way we work and live. A large part of our lives these days are limited to interactions through online platforms, from grocery shopping, to dating, to business meetings. With the unprecedented traffic that goes through these platforms there comes a tremendous responsibility in how they handle our data and privacy. This along with the use of mass surveillance in some countries and their success in controlling pandemic raises a natural question: where are the ethical boundaries and what are the rights that the users and citizens have when it comes to how their data is used to deal with COVID19?
In this panel discussion we are bringing in some of the experts in the field to talk about the implication of the new reality we are facing, and how it could be navigated successfully.
This will be an interactive session with the panel discussion followed by breakout rooms where you have an opportunity to share your thoughts on the issue with everyone.
Looking forward to seeing you there!!
