[Commlist] Call for Panels – Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) 2020

*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 <https://www.cpdpconferences.org/> 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 
<https://www.cpdpconferences.org/call-for-panels>.

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.
