Scenarios of total surveillance are nothing new. But the scenario played out by George Orwell in literature has now become reality thanks to digitalization: A society in which no action, no offense, no utterance, no matter how small, goes unobserved. Technical advancements such as biometric facial recognition, RFID technology or self-learning systems can be used for this purpose. What conclusions can be drawn from this? What does an international comparison of digital surveillance regimes teach us?

The following experts will be joining the discussion:

Stefan Brink
State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg until 12.31.22

Katika Kühnreich
Political Scientist and Sinologist

Michael Resch
Director of the High-Performance Computing Center (HLRS)

Moderation: Eva Wolfangel

Entry is free of charge

The panel discussion is part of the supporting program for the 2nd Stuttgarter Zukunftsrede.

This event is organized by the University of Stuttgart: International Center for Cultural and Technological Studies (IZKT), Interchange Forum for Reflecting on Intelligent Systems (IRIS)
