The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) recently launched their 2024 Tech Horizons Report, including a chapter on the commercial use of drones.

Dr Anna Jackman of the University of Reading, an ARPAS-UK Member, was one of the academic experts to be interviewed in relation to this.

In their first annual Tech horizons report, published in 2022, the ICO highlighted the implications of four of the most significant technological developments for privacy in the next two to five years.

In light of continuing rapid technological advancement, this second edition considers a further eight technologies the ICO believes may have a particularly significant impact on our societies, economies and information rights in the next two to seven years.
