IGF 2018 WS #421 Algorithmic transparency and the right to explanation

How do individuals seek recourse when they are affected by automated decisions? What are the implications for justice when automated decision-making such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) or Deep Learning (DL) or an automated script or piece of software is involved in making or influencing a legal decision that has a legal or significant effect on another person? Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation individuals or “data subjects” have a “right to explanation” with regards to the reasons behind automated decisions that could significantly affect them. This “right to explanation” arises from a combination of rights afforded to data subjects under the GDPR in particular article 22 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) states that “The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her”. Article 22 is further interpreted interpreted by the Working Party on Data Protection in their Guidelines on Automated Decision-making. Issues discussed will involve: Algorithmic bias: It is important that if algorithms affect our lives, they do not have bias, and that they are impartial. they are transparent and understandable Algorithmic transparency and the right to explanation: When people are affected by algorithms there must be an ability to explain why an algorithm has made a decision. How is this achieved in reality when the effects of code are hard to understand, and much automation and algorithms happen behind proprietary "black boxes" of obscured code?

IGF 2018 WS #269 Do(not) touch: selfregulatory safe harbor of social platforms

Additional Speakers

Speaker 5: Natalia Filina, Private Sector, Eastern European Group

Agenda

Timing:

  • Setup of the topic by moderator & introduction of speakers, online moderator and rapporteur, including their background/experience - 5 min
  • Short statements by each speaker reflecting the theme of the session from different perspectives - 15 min (3 min per person)
  • Discussion phase where moderator is addressing one/two key questions to each speaker - 20 min (4 min per person)
  • Questions from onsite and online participants are welcomed throughout the whole discussion - 15 min
  • Brief conclusion and thank you note - 5 min

Thematic focus:

  • Techno-utopia: neutral nature of technological tools v. their targeted (for better or worse) use. Current paradigm - the more information we have, the more ignorant we become. Data is not the new oil due to its infiniteness.
  • Controlling technology or controlled by it: domain name v. FB profile. How to regain control from technology over us? Generation of prosumer communities.
  • Social platforms as a profitable business: can money be balanced with morals when it comes to self-regulation?
  • Impact at the society level: awareness and education for the connected and non-connected communities. Digital culture. Everyone should learn to use technologies. Create own technologies. Protect developed technologies. Generate awareness about the use of data and its importance. Is it fair to receive income for the use of your data?
  • Impact at the state level: nations overtaken by technological companies in charge of data. Does it make nations dependent on businesses? Does this impact democracy? Does the abuse of social platforms by states ensures tolerating self-regulation?
  • What can a country do to recover its technological sovereignty? With examples such as Estonia, could a true digital government and democracy exist in the future?
  • Industry landscape and regulatory environment for platforms in China and the USA: national intermediary liability laws.
  • Shortlist of possible regulators: heavyweight v. super heavyweight. Mutually exclusive or complementary?

The panelists will interrogate such questions as:

  • How is the local population involved into the organization of smart city services?
  • At which stage consultations are organized?
  • What kind of information is shared (if any) prior to the local debates and by whom (i.e. the local government, NGOs, academics, smart city service providers)?
  • How are procurement rules defined?
  • How are procurements organised? 
  • What kind of control/governance is foreseen to manage public data and publicly owned digital infrastructure?
  • What kind of measures are foreseen in order to keep the smart city infrastructures secure?
  • Are personal data collected through smart city services shared with law enforcement? If so under what conditions?
  • What kind of legal frameworks apply to personal as well as non-personal data collected in the context of smart city services ?
  • What kind of control can individuals exert over their data?
  • Are local residents’ data covered by any (intellectual) property right? If so who is the rightholder?
