The Symposium, co-organized by the two leading academic programs in Israel focusing on law and cyber, looks at two areas of interaction between technology and the COVID-19 pandemic: Harnessing digital technology to combat the spread of the pandemic and the exploitation of cyber security shortcomings to launch cyber attacks and engage in data theft.
In the panel of experts, legal, ethical and policy questions will be raised concerning the use of AI and big data in decision-making relating to governmental responses to COVID-19 (localised movement restrictions, gradual opening of the economy, international travel, distribution of tests etc.), as well as a retrospective and comparative look at the experience of governments with the use of contact-tracing and geo-positioning technology. The panel will address the lessons learnt and the policy-related pros and cons, as well as risks to human rights from the various technologies employed.
