Prof. Dan Jerker Svantesson – Bond University

Has the Digital Age been slowed or accelerated by the global Covid-pandemic? Which law is actually applicable when in a cross-border conference call? Are stakeholders taking a too simplistic approach on global, overlapping privacy and personal data protection? Do countries still play any role in the Digital Age? Do people and society still have a say, and a choice, or are we already too dependant on digital? Does focusing on either sovereignty, human-centricity, data-centricity or universal societal challenges solve this? And most of all, what have accountability, engaging with stakeholders and building trust to offer for all of these existential or otherwise essential questions? A Dialogue with Prof. Dan Jerker Svantesson. Professor at Faculty of Law, Bond University, Australia (Gold coast)
