In addition, AI enters our home, our private lives and can uncover psychological and unconscious processes. At the same time, many of the concepts and assumptions underlying the current privacy paradigm are ill-equipped to adequately address these new developments. This panel offers a re- conceptualization of established concepts such as the private sphere, personal data and psychological integrity in light of developments in AI. Questions that will be central to the panel include:
- To what extent can facial and emotion recognition be adequately dealt with under the data protection regime?
- Is our psychological integrity undermined by artificial intelligence and to what extent does the right to privacy have adequate answers?
- How can the private domain be re-conceptualised when AI enters the home?
- Should we ban AI from the home and from the most intimate aspects of our personality and if so, how?
