But as is so often the case in times of great crisis, Covid-19 has forced us to quickly adapt how we use technology to tackle the pandemic and protect the most vulnerable.

Trustworthy governance of new digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) is needed to ensure public support for their adoption, the UK’s Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) has warned.
To evaluate the public’s opinion of how digital technology has been deployed throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, the CDEI – a UK government advisory body on the responsible use of AI and data technology – commissioned a survey from Deltapole which questioned just over 12,000 people between June and December 2020.
