The drones see you
September 27 2016
The Norwegian Polytechnic Society, the Research Council of Norway and the Fritt Ord Foundation invite the public to a debate on 27 September at 4.00 p.m.
Drone technology is constantly getting better and cheaper, and drones are well on their way to being affordable for everyone. The advent of new technology in the media industry is opening up exciting possibilities, but also entails a number of challenges related to social problems such as transparency and the protection of privacy.
What future are we creating? Is development taking place so quickly that society is hard put to keep up? We will be debating this important dilemma. Meet researchers, the media and drone enthusiasts!
