This informal workshop focuses on four papers dealing with a variety of ethical questions associated with the use of age limits, especially in health care.

Datafication, however, poses some unique challenges for our human rights framework because they are “sticky” and ubiquitous in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). The talk focuses on five takeaways from the book that ties AI and data to human rights.
