In collaboration with the Law & Technology Centre (Faculty of Law and Department of Computer Science) and supported by the Medical Ethics & Humanities Unit (Faculty of Medicine), the Centre for Medical Ethics and Law is delighted to present an international conference that seeks to examine:
(1) The modalities of social listening (SL) applied in response to an infodemic and to ongoing health threats (e.g. antimicrobial resistance);
(2) The ways in which SL can be used to identify mis-, dis- and mal-information, and the public health interventions that may be applied;
(3) The ethical and legal basis of SL and ensuing public health interventions; and
(4) Oversight (if any) that may be required in response to (3), and ethical and/or legal safeguards that should be introduced.
An infodemic is an overabundance of information, including misinformation and disinformation, that surges during a public health emergency. Harmful information may also be generated at a local level and beyond, and can lead to individuals, professions and communities being stigmatized and unfairly discriminated against. At its core, SL is the process of gathering information about people’s questions, concerns, and circulating narratives and misinformation about health from online and offline data sources, and may be technologically enhanced by Big Data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, among others. However, the collection and use of this data presents ethical and legal challenges, such as privacy and consent, and may not engender trust. Some of these concerns have been highlighted in the Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights & Public Health Emergencies, recently published by the Global Health Law Consortium and the International Commission of Jurists. This conference considers the ways in which these Principles and Guidelines could apply to SL and associated public health interventions, as well as their relationship with ethics frameworks developed under the auspices of the World Health Organization.
