UAVs: The Pros and Cons in Policing, Security & Everyday Life
Key Stakeholder Symposium Toronto, Ontario CANADA 30th June 2013
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones are having a substantial presence in all of our skies and feature in media across all continents and around the world. Legislation restricting or banning the use of UAVs in various airspaces is having a direct impact on the policing, commercial, community engagement, and educational potential of these technologies.
A direct correlation between augmented reality and lifelogging data repositories with UAVs brings this technology even further into contention with privacy, security, and identity management authorities and advocates. The explosion of inter-related applications and diffusion of these technologies in an everyday, publicly accessible, and smart world context calls for a Symposium that brings interdisciplinary, cross-sector, interagency, and multinational perspectives to discuss the immediate issues and challenges of working in this space.
This Symposium will bring together key stakeholders on the 30th June 2013 in Toronto, Ontario Canada in a face-to-face forum/debate, with key speakers and representative figures from the (but not limited to) military, national security, medical, law enforcement,
privacy, journalism, suppliers, academic, and business leaders.
