ConnectSMC

At Tuesday’s CONNECT18 Conference Tech, Privacy and Democracy Panel featuring UC Hastings Distinguished Professor Robin Feldman, San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Page Editor John Diaz and Palantir Technologies's Co-Director of Privacy and Civil Liberties Engineering Courtney Bowman. What will they discuss? The past few years have demonstrated the power of technology to shape and influence public opinion and policy. Concurrently, there has been more scrutiny on information shared and how it is used, and what happens when personal data is breached. How can technology be harnessed for good and what role does government play in either regulating or encouraging beneficial use? We cannot wait to hear these stellar panelists’ views!
