about this room
A guest lecture and panel on how digital and data rights get enforced once AI is in the picture, held on International Human Rights Day.
Margaret Satterthwaite, UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, gives the lecture, then joins a panel with Dr Johnny Ryan (Enforce director, ICCL), John Evans (Digital Services Commissioner, Coimisiún na Meán) and Ms Justice Marie Baker, former Supreme Court judge. On the table: can courts and regulators stay independent of Big Tech, do we need new rules or just enforcement of the ones we have, and how people get real remedies. Co-organised by UCD Centre for Digital Policy, ADAPT and NYU Law.
Thursday 10 December, 16:30 to 18:30, Synge Theatre, Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin. Free, register on Eventbrite.
Ireland's Digital Services Commissioner on the same stage as one of Big Tech's sharpest critics. Worth it for founders and policy leads building anything that runs on user data or platform rules.
