Privacy: Speech meets legal experts

Motivation: Smart speakers and virtual assistants pose risks to privacy. Issues range from lacking transparency and consent management to potential for mass surveillance. For speech and legal communities, this joint event allows for discussions across disciplines.

A concept workshop. The goal of this workshop is to bring experts together from speech technology and law to reach a common understanding. The morning session features keynotes on needs and demands of each field; the afternoon session provides space for discussions on case studies.

Outcome. This workshop prepares the upcoming Shonan meeting on “Privacy, Ethics, and Legislation for Speech Communication”.

Registration fee: 0 €
