We won! 🔥🎉🔥 we successfully argued that online proctoring of students with facial detection software can be discriminatory! 🎉🔥 The burden of proof now shifted and the university has to prove that Proctorio's software *is not* discriminatory. Although only a interim verdict it is a HUGE step: the first time algorithmic discrimination is recognized this way in NL - Direct consequence would be that orgs need to check their high risk systems on discrimination before impl. https://t.co/4aqf0b00Hc

“Ik ben heel blij dat de wet aan mijn kant staat,” zegt Robin Pocornie. “Dit soort discriminatie is moeilijk zichtbaar te maken en het College heeft dat goed begrepen."

Het is een primeur dat het College zich uitspreekt over algoritmische discriminatie. Naomi Appelman, voorzitter van het Racism and Technology Center: “We hopen dat dit een les is voor alle organisaties die gezichtsdetectie in zetten: je kunt dat alleen doen als je zeker weet dat je niet discrimineert..”
