Some States Are Targeting a Tactic Corporations Use to Raise Your Grocery Prices
Companies are using personal data to set individualized prices for customers, a ploy known as surveillance pricing.
The UK has handed Palantir dozens of public contracts, including with the NHS, even as the dangers of empowering a class of big tech oligarchs become clear. Palantir has supplied military technology to Israel’s military during its genocidal war in Gaza. Its data mining tools have helped Trump’s abusive ICE gangs round up migrants in the US. Its cofounder Peter Thiel shows disdain for democracy itself. This company should not be involved in our public services. Please join our call on the UK to end all public contracts with Palantir.

AI Cafe #3
Their Machines, their Rules? - Legality, Rights and Accountability in Algorithmic Society
with Kristina Tica, Raphael Albert & Joaquín Santuber
This third appointment in the series of the AI Cafés looks at algorithms, machine learning and AI and their impact on personal data, as well as the responsibility over automatic decision making processes. The participants will address AI Act and Digital Omnibus, current attempts of european institutions to regulate the industry around AI and yet leave enough room for economic activity. Raphael Albert will discuss how generative models interfere with our fundamental right to digital privacy and whether the current legal framework on data protection provides sufficient protection against such interference. Kristina Tica and Joaquín Santuber will provide insights into understanding the concept of Human Oversight, as introduced in Article 14 of the EU AI Act. The critique of this act focuses on the ambiguity and limitations of human decision-making and agency in overseeing, controlling, and intervening in high-risk AI systems, which can affect fundamental rights. Her approach comes from media arts, where along Joaquín Santuber, they developed an interactive artwork HUMAN OVERS[A]IGHT: THE OPS ROOM.
About
Kristina Tica is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher, with most recent practice centred on the artistic and theoretical exploration of the aesthetics and ethics of machine learning applications in visual computational processes. Currently pursuing her practical and theoretical PhD research at the intersection of critical AI, computational image and its aesth-ethics, media theory and law, between the Department of Media Theory at the University of Applied Arts (die Angewandte) Vienna and the Metaverse Lab [LIFT_C] at the Johannes Kepler University Linz. https://ticakristina.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ticakristina
Raphael Albert is a digital privacy professional, advocate, and activist based in Linz, Austria. Coming from a background in law and economics, he began working on privacy-related issues in 2018. Since then, he has worked in different settings and filled different roles. Of his many roles, he had always liked those the most which allowed him to share what he has learned about protecting our digital privacy with others. To focus on sharing knowledge and outreach, he started PRIVACY MINDED in 2023.
Joaquín Santuber is a lawyer and obtained his PhD in Design and IT-Systems from the Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Potsdam, Germany on the topic of designing for digital justice. As a research group lead of Metaverse Lab at the LIFT_C, JKU Linz, he works with art-based and design approaches to legality in digital environments, as well as critical approaches to public and judicial innovation.
*The AI Café is part of the cooperation “Critical digitization for art and culture / Theater Phoenix x servus.at”, which is realized within the project "KI im Theater Phönix" funded through the program "KI in der Kunst und Kultur". During the project, database-supported, automated, and algorithmic processes in theater operations are being explored. The project combines a critical examination of AI systems with their actual application in daily workflows. Part of the project, “AI Café” – a public event series in which different experiences and approaches to AI in cultural production are collected and discussed.

My issue with #digital #privacy is not that I have something to hide, but rather, where is the world going in the name of safety or convenience. Which is mass digital #surveillance , to an extent that we may struggle with in the future, once it had unfortunately gone too far to reverse.
What people need to realize is that internet is no longer a domain of private self and life, but has already became our public persona.

Teaching AI Ethics: Privacy
This is the fifth post in a series exploring the nine areas of AI ethics outlined in this original post. Each post goes into detail on the ethical concern and provides practical ways to discuss these issues in a variety of subject areas. For the previous post on copyright, click here. There are growing concerns about the impact of Artificial Intelligence technologies on our privacy. AI systems are often "black boxes", making it hard to understand how they arrive at their decisions and […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/04/10/teaching-ai-ethics-privacy/
