How can we ensure that technological innovations respect our rights? 

Technology is embedded in our everyday lives and is also becoming more and more autonomous. These technological developments happen so quickly that they can outpace the institutions that democratic societies have built to protect our rights and basic freedoms. Frontline problems with privacy, surveillance, and the use of data show how technological transformations can crash into our lives. If we want to solve these issues, ensuring that the people responsible for new technologies understand the social and legal issues is an essential first step. 

Join leading European authority on the intersection of technology and the law Mireille Hildebrandt, in conversation with UNSW Sydney’s cybersecurity expert Richard Buckland as they dissect this ever more prevalent tension.

This event is co-presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and the Australian Society for Computers and Law.
