==== DigForEthics: Conversations on Digital Forensics, Ethics, Law and 
Artificial Intelligence ====

This is a DigForASP event, https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA17124!

Although not necessarily (and not everywhere in the same way) what is 
ethical is legal, and vice-versa, ethics and law are at the hearth of 
human societies since their dawn, and their relations have been studied 
for centuries. This is not the case for the relations between ethics and 
more recent disciplines like Digital Forensics (DF) and Artificial 
Intelligence (AI), where the ethical question has been necessarily 
raised much more recently. Despite their short history, "Ethics in AI" 
and "Ethics in DF" are emerging as two among the biggest issues of this 
millenium.

The technologies that drive AI and DF are almost the same all over the 
world, but law changes from country to country, and not only different 
cultures follow different ethical principles, but also different 
individuals belonging to the same cultural group do. When AI is 
exploited in the domains of DF and Law, their interplay, along with the 
interplay with specific cultural aspects, makes the ethical question 
extremely delicate and complex, and for this reason extremely urgent, to 
address.

The DigForASP COST Action (Digital forensics: evidence analysis via 
intelligent systems and practices, CA17124, launched on 10th September 
2018 for 4 years), thanks to its strongly interdisciplinary nature, is a 
perfect framework for conversating on AI, DF, Law and Ethics.
In this two days event, judges, lawyers, experts of DF, of AI, and of 
data privacy will share their point of view on the ethical threats that 
the adoption of intelligent automated techniques may bring to their 
profession on the one hand, and how to mitigate them and turn them into 
opportunities, on the other.
