#LiveTweet Closing Remarks from @SusanBoehnke, @drmarthabailey and David Lyon. Thank you everyone for a wonderful and stimulating day of thinking through the multi-faceted and multi-dimensional future of #neurotech.
#LiveTweet Should govt & Big Tech work together in developing regulations & reforms? “We can’t speak of a Big Tech universally, different companies deal with these questions differently. Tech companies must proactively work and consult with governmental overseers." - Weigelt
#LiveTweet: Panel 4 ongoing now. Perspectives from industry and government. Chaired by @graemedmoffat, we are listening to @Thumbtackhead, @beynate and @GAMSmith. Join us: queensu.zoom.us/j/9304555385
 #ANeurotechFuture
#LiveTweet “As we look towards a #ANeurotechFuture, we need to engage policy-makers, civil society, academia & industry, in conversations surrounding tech development. We must be specific and clear about questions, so that we may put in place necessary guardrails.”, says Weigelt.
#LiveTweet John Weigelt shares Microsoft’s experience of developing trustworthy computing and privacy, and highlights that privacy must be a fundamental human right. Trust and public confidence must be the basis of technological development. #ANeurotechFuture
#LiveTweet Coming up in a few minutes: afternoon keynote by John Weigelt - NTO, Microsoft Canada. Come join us live: queensu.zoom.us/j/9304555385

#LiveTweet “One way to approach problems of security of #neurodata early is to look at literature on cybersecurity, and see how they speak to or can be imported into the neurosecurity world.” @jnfrchandler, in the Q&A session.
#LiveTweet “The same commercial data-exploitation that exists in other sectors are likely to extend into neurodata as well. Data consent is a fiction & too complex to meaningfully assert. Bill C-11 is disappointing as it doesn’t sufficiently respond to this changing context.”
#LiveTweet “Data is not just a by-product of a commercial transaction. It is, by itself, a valuable commodity. This new context raises a dual regulatory challenge: how to support innovation through access to data, while also protecting individuals from abuse and exploitation”
#LiveTweet Dr Scassa starts off by introducing Bill C-11, the data protection law, which is a long overdue reform of Canada’s private sector data protection law. It applies in the commercial context, and follows EU’s GDPR. #neurolaw #datalaw #ANeurotechFuture

#LiveTweet “If BCI-enabled internet surfing is mixed up in the accidental downloading of illegal content, or emission of illegal speech, it opens up important questions. The nature, quality & complexity of actions will be judged to determine the intentionality.” - Dr. Chandler.
#LiveTweet “Could neurotechnology-enabled communication satisfy legal requirements for consent in medical decision-making or sexual contact? Is the communicative device going to be sufficiently reliable to communicate an active & ongoing consent?” -Dr. Chandler, #ANeurotechFuture
#LiveTweet “The legal system is, in principle, open to a wide range of assistive communication technologies. But in practice, it doesn’t work quite as smoothly as there is a high level of victimization of people with disabilities.”, said Dr. Jennifer Chandler. #ANeurotechFuture

#LiveTweet “It’s not privacy that is dead. It is consent.” @murakamiwood. #ANeurotechFuture

#LiveTweet Coming up in 10 mins: the #legal implications and dimensions of contemporary #neurotech led by @drmarthabailey, @TeresaScassa and @jnfrchandler. Join us: queensu.zoom.us/j/9304555385

#LiveTweet “There are two narratives perpetuated by tech companies, one: that privacy is dead; two: that self-exposure on social media by individuals is the problem. Neither are true.” said Dr. Stinson, in the Q&A session. #ANeurotechFuture
