Career
Boos is the founder of Arago, a leading company for Artificial intelligence (AI) in Germany, which supports established companies in their transformation into the digital age.[3]
Covid
In 2020, Boos was head of the PEPP-PT consortium, working to provide the protocol on which to subsequently develop a centralized contact tracing applications.[4] "We're now in contact with 40 countries worldwide," Boos told in a phone interview. "We started as a European project, but maybe we’ll have to rename it now; there are countries from all around the world contacting us."[5]
An open letter signed by some 300 tech experts viciously criticized the centralized data processing of contract tracing apps[6]. The PEPP-PT app was designed to provide anonymized data to national health authorities with users' consent. For the letter authors, this was "mission creep" toward greater surveillance. Other critics claimed that PEPP-PT lacked transparency because its founders were unwilling to openly publish their code.[7]
The criticism led to an exodus among the app’s founding supporters. PEPP-PT's death nail came from Apple, one half of the Big Tech duopoly that controls 99 percent of German smartphone operating systems, which refused to unlock its operating system interface to allow central processing of Bluetooth data, leading to the German government shifting support away from PEPP-PT.[7]
