Many systems have been proposed for using technology to help individuals
and public health officials better respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. This
talk will analyze the major proposed uses of information technology in the
public health response to COVID-19, including aggregate reporting, contact
tracing via direct proximity detection or location history matching, and
creation of disease status passports. The public health value of these
approaches will be considered along with their privacy and civil liberties
implications. For several approaches, broad public acceptance is a
prerequisite for success, making careful privacy and civil liberties
protection an important contributor to public health goals.

*Bio:*

Edward W. Felten is the Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science and
Public Affairs at Princeton University and the founding director of
Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy. In 2011-12 he served
as the first chief technologist for the Federal Trade Commission. His
research interests include computer security and privacy, especially
relating to media and consumer products; and technology law and policy. He
has published about 80 papers in the research literature and two books. His
research on topics such as web security, copyright and copy protection, and
electronic voting has been covered extensively in the popular press. His
weblog, at freedom-to-tinker.com, is widely read for its commentary on
technology, law and policy.

Professor Felten is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is a fellow of the ACM. He has
testified at House and Senate committee hearings on privacy, electronic
voting and digital television. In 2004, Scientific American magazine named
him to its list of 50 worldwide science and technology leaders.

My art theme: Dynamic exposition of the tension between matrix order and
luminous chaos.

"Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may
then be a valuable delusion."

power." Joanna Macy.
