Surveillance: Expert perspectives

On Wednesday 6 April 2022, Professor Kirstie Ball, Director of the Centre for Research into Information, Surveillance and Privacy (CRISP), will speak at an event, 'Surveillance: Expert perspectives', hosted by the Royal Society of Arts MCICH Fellows Network.

Professor Ball will refer to her 2021 report Electronic monitoring and surveillance in the workplace, written for the European Commission.

She will speak alongside Iain Mitchell QC and Dr Brian Plastow, Scottish Biometrics Commissioner. The session will be relevant to a wide audience, including elected politicians, academics, unions, employees and employers.

The discussion will address questions of privacy and regulations in the acquisition, use, retention, and destruction of data in the justice system and workplace. It will also consider Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) and the ways in which it may impact on everyday life.

The event is free. RSA Fellows and guests are invited to register on eventbrite.
