The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a two-fold observation. On the one hand, our many technological advances did not prevent us from being hit hard by the virus. On the other hand, political decision-makers, business leaders and citizens, spontaneously turned to technology to find solutions to the global public health crisis. This session will discuss a report published by the Human Technology Foundation, written in participation with over 20 ITechLaw members, that will serve as guidance for the responsible governance of COVID-19 contact tracing technologies. To fully engage in the conversation, we suggest reviewing the report which is available online for free in English and French (plus risk assessment tools additionally in German and Italian) at https://www.itechlaw.org/technology-governance-time-crisis.

Keynote Speaker
Will Scrimshaw, Benevolent AI, United Kingdom
This panel will focus on the consequences of the recent invalidation of the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield from the vendor perspective in the CJEU decisions known as Schrems II. Whether acting as controllers or processors, vendors face increasing customer queries about “additional measures and safeguards” required for those organizations relying on Standard Contractual Clauses for international data transfers, how they are managing data access requests from public authorities in non-EU destination jurisdictions, and requests for contractual and operational changes. During this panel, speakers offering vendor and client perspectives will discuss uncertainties currently facing their organizations and how they are responding.

Following the outbreak of COVID-19, many businesses have been forced to breach or modify their existing contracts or close new deals despite the uncertainties of the ongoing pandemic. Until the pandemic is under control, how do we best assist our clients in adapting to this “new normal”? Panelists will speak from their real-world experiences on resolving disputes and renegotiating existing contracts, to adjusting business operations in an everchanging landscape. Panelists will also share practical contractual solutions for pandemic-related risks when entering into new agreements. Attendees will have time to discuss in small groups various clauses that have worked for their client or company.

We are all aware that socio-economic conditions can lead to significant sections of our society being excluded from what the rest of us take for granted. One of the greatest tragedies is not only a loss of opportunity to better oneself through access to education and employment but also a lack of access to services through online resources. The exclusion of large sections of society from access to the digital online world has been brought into sharp focus during the COVID-19 pandemic. Children have been unable to access teaching materials provided to them by their schools, their parents have been unable to obtain clear guidance with regard to keeping healthy and safe during the pandemic, vulnerable people have been unable to use online resources for simple things such as grocery shopping as well as more important activities such as contacting medical services. It would seem the exclusion from the digital world follows existing exclusions for the lower socio-economic classes such as access to home loans, good schools, good public transport and so on. It is incumbent on us to stop such exclusion. This panel will discuss places where digital inequity resides and how we can move to a more inclusive digital world.

Data and Artificial Intelligence can be used for good to fight against COVID-19, cybercrime, or terror.
