The World Ethical Data Forum returns next month. The world is on fire; how are we going to fix it?
The World Ethical Data Forum 2022 explores the cutting edge of data and technology – bringing together leading voices across all industries and institutions.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, September 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The world is on fire; how are we going to fix it?
Today’s world-changing events have a common thread. They – and their outcomes – are being shaped by data-driven technologies. The World Ethical Data Forum is set to create a crucial dialogue on the future of humanity by bringing together usually competing players to discuss and collaborate on a wide range of issues – from AI and analytics to cybersecurity and privacy, through to human rights and press freedoms.
This October 26-28, 2022, leading experts from across the geographic, political and professional spectrum will join The World Ethical Data Forum, to provide insights and possible solutions to a broad series of complex interrelated issues. All online and completely free for anyone to attend.
“Everyone says data is the new oil. But we don’t want the data age to end in the same fiasco as the oil age. WEDF helps to make sure it doesn’t.”– Serge Droz, federal department of foreign affairs, Switzerland; former Head of Security, Proton
Because these issues have the potential to impact all of us, the 2022 forum will be fully online and free to attend. To make it as inclusive as possible, it will also run in multiple languages across a number of time zones – using privacy-respecting infrastructure (open source, decentralized, interoperable).
Speakers this year include: Bruce Schneier (renowned security technologist), Cory Doctorow (award-winning novelist and author, technology activist), Aza Raskin (Center of Humane Technology), Francesca Rossi (AI Ethics global leader, IBM), Rayhan Asat (human rights lawyer, Yale University), Eamon Gilmore (Special Representative for Human Rights, EU), and more.
Join them. Free registration is now open: https://worldethicaldataforum.org/
