COVIDSafe app: safe to use? (5 May 2020)
from Sydney Ideas · host Sydney Ideas
As we start to chart a COVID-19 recovery course, there are a number of complex issues to consider. Last week, the Australian government announced and released the COVIDSafe app, designed to help us all to return to some sort of normal. Since its release, there've been a lot of discussion about the functionality and security of the app. The purpose of this conversation is to give you access to expert insights and facts. Our panel will consider questions such as, how is this going to work? Can it keep us safe? And also what are the risks to us all if we do download it, or if we don't? THE SPEAKERS: – Professor Robert Slonim, behavioural economist from the School of Economics – Associate Professor Adam Dunn, Head of Biomedical Informatics and Digital Health in the School of Medical Sciences – Associate Professor Jeanne Huang, international law expert from the Sydney Law School – Dr Suranga Seneviratne, Lecturer in Security at the School of Computer Science – Anna Burns (moderator), Sydney Ideas For further resources, including the transcript, useful links and ways to give back, visit our website: https://bit.ly/2SN4bBJ
