Topic: Artificial Intelligence and The Law

Historically a computer was “programmed” by a human utilising a precise set of instructions. The human input was clear and transparent. As artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved in conjunction with the internet, cloud computing, data gathering, data storage and data processing capabilities and the uptake of interactive smartphones and devices, the relationship between the computer and direct and immediate human control of outputs has become less readily identifiable. In turn this has given rise to significant legal issues. 

In this presentation Professor David Watts will discuss AI and the legal implications for the future and consequential issues facing technology today.

Speaker: Professor David Watts, La Trobe University
David Watts is Professor of Information Law and Policy at La Trobe University Law School and a Director of Bainbridge Associates, Data Protection Advisory. He is Task Force leader on Big Data and Open Data for the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Privacy, a data protection advisor to UN Global Pulse and a key researcher at the Data to Decisions Cooperative Research Centre.

David was Commissioner for Privacy and Data Protection and Commissioner for Law Enforcement Data Security in Victoria and, before that, occupied General Counsel roles in the Commonwealth and State Departments of Health and practised as a technology and IP lawyer.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker at the end of the presentation.

Light refreshments will be served after the presentation.
