The intervention will explore lessons learned from successes and the challenges that remain, emphasizing the role of all stakeholders in building a resilient cyber future.
Dr. Claudia Peersman will present her recent research, “Towards a Human-centred Framework for Evaluating Online Child Protection Tools.” The discussion will shed light on the challenges in protecting children online, focusing on assessing the performance of automated tools with a human-centered perspective, including Human Rights impact, security, fairness, accountability, and disputability.
