This background paper explores the requirement of respecting the ‘essence’ of the rights to respect for private life and of right to the protection of personal data whenever these rights are limited under European Union law.
Spent most of the drive to the airport thinking about what words would have the most impact during my limiting speaking time at the European Parliament today.
You see, this isn’t like a business meeting - I might only get 3-5 minutes to speak so choosing the right words with the most impact is incredibly important.
I don’t have 10 000 words like I did for my thesis, I don’t have a 60 minute keynote, I have about 3-5 minutes to explain why the #csam proposal is dangerous for #fundamentalrights
3-5 minutes to persuade the Parliament not to pass a law that will lead to the total and complete surveillance of all digital communications in the EU.
3-5 minutes on such a complex issue involving the sexual abuse of children.
1/2 A year in since #DSA adoption BUT companies & policymakers are still deciding on who has to follow which rules...🤯
For example, tech corporations like Google, Meta & Amazon must understand, assess & mitigate any risks to #FundamentalRights stemming from their services.
Two news stories in Deccan Herald on the same day show why #Bangalore is doomed due to horrible #corruption & #apathy from its politicians & councilors 😭:
Luis Velasco and Xabier Lareo from #EDPS taking part in the '#DataSpaces in #EU' event organised by #AEPD and #ENISA: Data spaces should put together innovation and protection of #FundamentalRights not as adversaries but as mutual enablers.
#EU#AI#AIAct#FundamentalRights: "Responding to an appeal launched by the Brussels Privacy Hub Co-Director Gianclaudio Malgieri (Leiden University), Alessandro Mantelero (Politecnico di Torino), and Vincenzo Tiani (Brussels Privacy Hub), the over 100 signatories, considered to be authorities on AI, data protection, and fundamental rights, many of whom are already consulted by national, European, and international institutions, call for maintaining the parliament’s version and, in particular, for ensuring:
clear parameters about the assessment of the impact of AI on fundamental rights;
transparency about the results of the impact assessment through public meaningful summaries,
participation of affected end-users, especially if in a position of vulnerability;
involvement of independent public authorities in the impact assessment process and/or auditing mechanisms."
Preventive detention reserved for exceptional circumstances, not for mundane law and order problems: Supreme Court
A two-judge Bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta also berated the Telangana police for having police officers within its ranks who are oblivious to the fundamental rights guaranteed to citizens by the Indian Constitution.
🔑 One key issue during the first meeting will be the accountability of AI deployers + the obligation for #FundamentalRights impact assessments of AI systems.
Quick adoption of #AI solutions has demonstrated that this technology comes with its own risks. It is very important to uphold the principles as established in #GDPR, with clear policies & regulations. @EDPS_director Leonardo Cervera Navas Brussels Privacy Hub Summer Academy for Global #privacy
@EDPS_director "At the #EDPS, we are prioritizing #AI supervision, focusing on the sectors and processing operations that pose greater risks for #fundamentalrights e.g. law enforcement and migration." Brussels Privacy Hub Summer Academy for Global #Privacy
