Paper Abstract:
|
The current COVID-19 experience seems to expose the need for a new approach about how we interpret and handle
privacy. This paper investigates the notion of privacy whether it is old, current, or simply misunderstood. The use of
technologies is limited by a shortage of data, and by too many data that cannot be accessed due to privacy rights. The
authors present the limitations, constraints, and pitfalls that privacy could pose on the use of AI and emerging technology
as a potential nonpharmaceutical weapon against the current and future pandemic. Addressing these restrictions would
require careful balancing among data protection, economy and public health, and robust engagement between human and
digital world. This paper seeks to encourage governments, decision-makers and developers to rethink their perspective of
user privacy. |
