About this event
From Amazon to Facebook and from algorithms to locational surveillance, technological advances over the past decade have been positive but others are deeply problematic.
Our second Northern Data Debate brings together experts in technology, digital change, and society from a variety of perspectives to discuss how do we ensure technology positively helps people and society, and how do we tackle some of the negatives new technologies throw-up.
Sponsored by the Alan Turing Institute, the National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD) and Newcastle Data.
