As NHS trials new contact tracing app, new report by @AdaLovelaceInst & @traversepeople finds the public want to see evidence it works alongside independent oversight.

#COVID19Tech #ContactTracing
adalovelaceinstitute.org/our-work/covid…
Over three weeks in May 2020, the @AdaLovelaceInst, @traversepeople, @involveUK & @BangtheTable convened a rapid online discussion with 28 members of the public to explore attitudes to the use of #COVID19 related technologies for transitioning out of lockdown.
The 'mini public' debated circumstances under which the use of tech like the contact tracing app would be an appropriate part of the #COVID19 response.

Four major findings emerged 👇

Join @sarahdrinkwater, @thomasmhughes and @safiyanoble at 17:00 BST to explore:
🔹what is ‘good’?
🔹who is responsible for ‘good’?
🔹how can we embed ‘good’ into structures and processes to make tech work for people and society?

#CogX2020 #AdaCogX2020 Headshots of speakers Sarah Drinkwater, Director, Beneficial Tech, Omidyar Network; Thomas Hughes, Director of Oversight Board Administration, Facebook and Safiya Umoja Noble, Associate Professor, UCLA and Author, Algorithms of Oppression. Session 5: What does 'good' look like in a technosociety? 17:00-17:45 BST. Ethics & Society stage at CogX by Ada Lovelace Institute
1⃣ @safiyanoble speak for those most vulnerable & those in crosshairs of technology design pay the highest price. We are living in a moment of #BlackLivesMatter outpouring through technology and people using technology to protest, connect, bolster calls for police accountability.
2⃣ We have to talk about the implications of technologies. But does ethics defang and undermine the political implications of technology's responsibility for real harms: being the vessels, microphones, amplifiers for calls for hate and harms? And defangs a structural analysis?

The Ada Lovelace Institute Ethics & Society Stage kicks off at 10am this morning with 'Do we need more WEIRDos in Whitehall' with @ChiOnwurah @Jackstilgoe @JeniT and @JohnNaughton

We'll be pulling out key points from the discussion in the thread below 👇
'We have passed peak trust' says @ChiOnwurah and Goverment missing tricks on data sharing, transparency, protecting digital citizens. She calls for a digital charter that empowers citizens and builds an ecosystem of digital governance.
Whitehall needs diversity of thought, expertise and people in Whitehall that believe in empowering citizens, bringing agency to lives and futures, not something WEIRDos will bring but can be achieved by opening up Whitehall and minds to an active view of technology in society.

We're just about to kick off our webinar on the data governance of #ContactTracingApp. Discussing centralised/decentralised approaches and what they mean for the present and future of health and privacy.
We'll tweet some key points in this thread

adalovelaceinstitute.org/contact-tracin…

#COVID
We have three key questions to discuss on #ContactTracingApp, they focus on:
1- Efficacy of the Apps
2-Legal and Technical safeguards, policy instruments
3-Public Trust, you can't have public trust without guaranteed efficacy and safeguards
First up, @rossjanderson underlines that it is key to know what will happen to all the data after the emergency, also the data collected through conventional manual methods and it is concerning that we do not have the right legal safeguards in place.
