A highlight is the panel discussion that will deal with the effects of AI on the handling of personal data. The availability of huge data sets through cloud solutions as well as enormous computing capacities have recently led to significant developments in the field of machine learning. However, this progress has also led to higher data protection requirements and increased leaks in personal data. Panellists include anti-abuse researcher David Freeman from Facebook, Professor Reza Shokri from the National University in Singapore and Apostolos Malatras from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity. You will not only discuss the ethical dimensions of handling data, but also what companies that systematically collect data can do to protect sensitive information. The panel discussion will be moderated by Miroslav Umlauf, Chief Data Officer at Avast.
