About the Session:
Prof. dr. Mireille Hildebrandt & Prof. dr. Gloria González Fuster (LSTS) will discuss the continuing challenge of AI & Data Protection Law in the context of the current COVID-19 crisis.

This is even more pivotal during emergencies such as the corona crisis, noting that emergency measures may be hardwired in ICT infrastructures and repurposed long after the virus has subsided.
