Call for Panels: CPDP2020 – Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence https://www.cpdpconferences.org/call-for-panels
This call for panels is aimed at academic consortia, research projects,
think tanks and other research organisations. (Another call, to
individuals for academic research papers, will go out towards the end of June 2019).
For
the 2020 edition,
CPDP takes as its focus one of the most powerful
technologies of this century: Artificial Intelligence. Investment and
work in AI are accelerating at an unprecedented rate while governments
in several countries are swinging into action to regulate AI. What
complications does AI add to the already fraught terrain of digital
rights? Is the GDPR the panacea for all the legal issues arising in the
age of AI? How meaningful is the concept of personal data in the face of
systems which work with the logic of identifying hidden trends and
behaviour and affect large groups? How can we best address the issues of
social justice implicated by AI? Is AI the right framework to discuss
the challenges of data-driven technologies? CPDP2020 will serve as a
platform to discuss and seek answers to such questions and more. We
welcome cutting edge panels in all areas related to technology, privacy
and data protection, but particularly invite proposals that fit the
general conference theme.
We particularly seek panel proposals addressing the following topics:
- Regulating AI
- AI in law enforcement and/or national security
- AI in the public sector
- Facial recognition and other AI driven video surveillance systems
- AI and sentiment analysis
- Deepfakes, news generators and AI-manipulated media
- AI and gender
- AI bias and discrimination
- AI and social justice
- AI and healthcare
- AI and children’s privacy
- AI personhood and posthuman rights
- Voice-based agents, robots, and social bots
We
encourage panels that are well-balanced, multidisciplinary,
geographically and gender diverse. We also welcome different types of
sessions such as debates, roundtables, workshops and other
non-conventional formats. More information about rules for panel
composition and submission can be found here.
Please
note: chosen institutions, organisations or EU research projects will
become CPDP2020 event partners. This implies that the event partner is
able to finance all costs of the panel speakers (travel and lodging) in
addition to paying a conference contribution of €1200. In
return, the event partner will be granted a number of benefits such as
logo recognition, conference bag insert and full conference registration
for the panelists. Organizations such as nonprofits for whom the panel
fee would cause financial hardship can get in touch after submitting
their panel proposal.
Panel proposals should be submitted through the online form here. Please fill in the form as completely as possible.
