Data Ethics in Europe: Uncovering Pathways and Barriers to Political Influence
Data Ethics in Europe
We find ourselves in an era defined by digitalization, where digital technologies profoundly impact democracies and the quality of human life. The European Union (EU) has emerged as a prominent force in establishing legal frameworks to ensure the responsible use of data and digital technologies. Key initiatives, such as GDPR, DSA, and upcoming legislation concerning AI, European Media Freedom, and Digital Markets, have been significantly informed by ethics boards, including the distinguished High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence.
This conference brings together internationally renowned researchers and members of the Danish Data Ethics Council to delve into the defining characteristics of ethical data practices within a European context. We will explore the most pressing current issues and consider the opportunities and challenges in shaping the impact of ethical data governance on politics and society.
The conference will be moderated by Astrid Haug.
