About this talk

In the fight against COVID-19, countries are taking urgent actions to address the crisis. Some are turning to tech to find solutions for containing the spread of the virus. Digital contact tracing, in particular, is gaining a lot of traction. For example, Apple and Google recently announced a rare collaboration to jointly facilitate contact tracing within their mobile platforms for public health monitoring applications. So, what does this mean for privacy?  While some efforts are being made to preserve user privacy, like not tracking user location or collecting other identifying information, digital contact tracing can still reveal more user information than necessary. Join this panel of security and privacy experts lead by Chenxi Wang to learn more about the different implications associated with digital contact tracing, how it is being used around the world, and the long-term effects of COVID-rushed decisions. Speakers: - Chenxi Wang, Founder & General Partner of Rain Capital - Vishwanath Raman, Lead, Privacy Technologies, Oasis Labs - Michelle Dennedy, CEO Drumwave - Tom Pendergast, Chief Learning Officer, MediaPRO
