KGRI Director Komamura takes the stage at "Privacy and Trust in the Digital Age" conference
The School of Law at the University of Washington in St. Louis and the Keio University School of Medicine have launched the Cordell Institute, which will research at the intersection of medicine and law. This conference was held to coincide with the commemorative opening of this institute on September 14, 2018. As the event's title indicates, it was intended to facilitate debates incorporating perspectives such as law, medical informatics, and social dynamics, and four panels were convened on the changes being imposed on the concept of privacy in the digital era.
Keigo Komamura, Director of the Keio University Global Research Institute (KGRI), and professor at the Faculty of Law also has overall responsibility for the "Digital Humanities" project as part of the KGRI Security cluster, and participated as a panelist at the event, delivering a report titled "Privacy as Trust." The conference was planned and realized around the three professors and experts in the up-and-coming area of privacy law, Neil Richards, Woodrow Hartzog and Ari Ezra Waldman. In recent times, there have been increasing attempts to reconstitute privacy from the perspective of trust. These three researchers are set to be leaders on this burgeoning tide and ongoing developments are anticipated.
There are imminent plans to include specific details of the conference in the Washington University Law Review.
