#EU#Poland#Surveillance#Privacy: "The case Pietrzak and Bychawska-Siniarska and Others v. Poland (applications nos. 72038/17 and 25237/18) concerned a complaint by five Polish nationals about Polish legislation authorising a secret-surveillance regime covering both operational control and the retention of telecommunications, postal and digital communications data (“communications data”) for possible future use by the relevant national authorities. In particular, they alleged that there was no remedy available under domestic law allowing persons who believed that they had been subjected to secret surveillance to complain about that fact and to have its lawfulness reviewed.
In today’s Chamber judgment in this case the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been three violations of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life and correspondence) of the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of the complaints concerning the operational-control regime, the retention of communications data for potential use by the relevant national authorities, and the secret-surveillance regime under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Given the secret nature and wide scope of the measures provided for by the Polish legislation and the lack of effective review by which persons who believed that they had been subjected to surveillance could challenge this alleged surveillance, the Court found it appropriate to examine the legislation at issue in abstracto. It considered that the applicants could claim to be the victims of a violation of the Convention, and that the mere existence of the relevant legislation constituted in
itself an interference with their Article 8 rights.
The Court then held that all the shortcomings identified by it in the operational-control regime led to a conclusion that the national legislation did not provide sufficient safeguards against excessive recourse to surveillance..."
#AI#GenerativeAI#AITraining#DataProtection#Privacy: "- Merely relying on the disclosure of statistical accuracy of the GenAI model is insufficient, since it could lead to an “Accuracy Paradox”. It refers to the unintended consequences of solely relying on the disclosure of a model’s statistical accuracy, which can lead to a misleading sense of reliability among users. As accuracy metrics improve, users may overly trust the AI outputs without sufficient verification, increasing the risk of accepting erroneous information.
Increasing the accuracy of inputs, models, and outputs often comes with the cost of privacy, especially in GenAI context. This involves not only technical identifiability of the individuals involved, but also societal risks such as more accurate and precise targeting for commercial purposes, social sorting, and group privacy implications.
Overreliance on developers’ and deployers’ accuracy legal compliance is not pragmatic and is overoptimistic, which could ultimately become a burden for users with the tendency of using dark pattern. In this context, GenAI developers and deployers could use such manipulative design to shift the responsibility for data accuracy onto users.
We argue that content moderation as a tool to mitigate inaccuracy and untrustworthiness. As a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness of GenAI, content moderation could filter flawed or harmful content, which involves refining detection methods to distinguish and exclude incorrect or misleading information from training data and model outputs.
Accuracy of training data cannot directly translate to the accuracy of output, especially in the context of hallucination. Even though most training data is reliable and trustworthy, the essential issue remains that the recombination of trustworthy data into new answers in a new context may lead to untrustworthiness..."

Young people are waking up every day to media about war, genocides, dead children. They are unsure of being able to make a living, scared by debt, violence, addiction, homelessness. They are unsure if the burning planet will even support their lives. They are struggling for secure basic housing after having their lives upended by a pandemic...
@quinn Most every psychology study I’ve read has rightly pointed out that #socialmedia and the peer pressure it’s created to be perfect has fueled massive #depression and #suicidal ideation.
So we can make fun of the Times, sure, but the issue of #computers in our teens’ pockets and immediate access to the #internet isn’t something to take lightly.
For our #privacy OR our kids’ minds and wellbeing.
Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.
