ADAPT’s Citizens’ Think-Ins are public forums that bring people together to discuss some of the ethical issues we face in the digital age. Members of the public have an opportunity to interact with researchers at the cutting-edge of AI research and development.

Participants will be introduced to the emerging topic of digital health information at the event, and asked to consider questions about what digital health information is currently captured and by whom. How should access to it be controlled, and should data collected on smart devices such as phone apps and wearable technologies, be considered relevant?

Tuesday 9 March- Wednesday 10 March
