It is difficult to describe the excitement of having my book ("#Vulnerability and Data Protection Law," Oxford University Press, @OUPAcademic ) in my hands for the first time!! You can order it here: lnkd.in/dbtzAWqH #vulnerability #dataprotection

To understand where the boost from Silicon Valley for Trump came from, and to appreciate how Musk merely makes visible what power tech companies often invisibly and unaccountably have, read The Tech Coup ↘️ bookshop.org/p/books/the-te…

This week I had the pleasure and privilege to discuss at @sciencespo in Paris my research on vulnerability and my paper on measuring fundamental rights impact (coauthored with @Cristianapt). Thanks @eu_lucasanjos and @RaphaeleXenidi for the great comments and for hosting me!

Such an inspiring conversation on the history and policy of EU consumer (protection) law with Hans Micklitz in @LeidenLaw. Thanks @vanessamak and @ConsumerID_ to organise it!!

Ops 😅👠

#BrusselsPrivacySymposium 8 editions of amazing partnership between @BPrivacyHub and @futureofprivacy Thanks @gabrielazanfir for make this happen! This year: deep dive into the AI Act

@nataliabielova @Inria Amazing!!! 🤩

🤩 Happy to announce that starting from today, I became a Research Director at @Inria! Research Director is similar to Full Prof. in academic system, and soon I'll be creating my own team! More news coming up! www-sop.inria.fr/members/Natali…

Lecture du jour. Failles et angles morts démocratiques dans la commercialisation des systèmes d'IA sous l'empire de la régulation🇪🇺. Enjeux interprétationnels, risques pour les droits fondamentaux et dépendance excessive aux mécanismes de corégulation. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

So exciting to finally see it published!!

@eduardfosch @lutzid @a_a_tamo Amazing authors and fascinating topic!

🚨 We've just published a comprehensive chapter on how #social #robots impact privacy across domains 🔍🤖 Wanna know more? Check it out! degruyter.com/document/doi/1… 👥 Authors: @lutzid, @a_a_tamo, & @eduardfosch

While Draghi’s report makes both sensible points (like enforcing GDPR faster) and strange ones (falling for the gen AI hype), it’s sad to see a progressive neoliberal join the misguiding deregulation-at-any-cost populism known from right-wing technocrats and big tech lobbyists.

Very interesting thread on Draghi’s report, thank you @BertuzLuca for the matter-of-fact summary. I am a bit flabbergasted though, could it be that Draghi is a good economist but understands little about generative AI?

@LuizaJarovsky @Cristianapt Thank you so much for posting it!!

🚨 [AI RESEARCH] "Assessing the (Severity of) Impacts on Fundamental Rights," by @JcMalgieri & @Cristianapt, is a must-read read for everyone in AI governance. Quotes: Without straightforward criteria to measure those risks to fundamental rights in practice (both at single user and collective levels), most of the EU digital strategies that demand assessment of impact and risks are meaningless. Eminent examples are the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and Data Protection by Design (DPbD) in the GDPR, Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIA) in the AI Act, or the systemic risk assessment in the Digital Services Act (DSA)." (page 2) - "Reflecting on the core values underlying fundamental rights, i.e. the dignity principle justified by the flourishing of individuals, the severity of interference should be determined based on the core meaning of each fundamental right which might be affected. We should analyse how the “content” of fundamental rights is interfered with and how severely. For instance, privacy rights encompass values such as personal autonomy, human dignity, physical and mental integrity, and identity. Similarly, freedom rights involve personal autonomy, pluralism, and democracy. The full realisation of these values serves as the benchmark for assessing interferences of external activities on these rights and freedoms. To put it simply, we consider that risks (of meaningful interferences) to fundamental rights occur when certain practices might compromise the dignity and the flourishing of individuals. (page 11) - "(...) Our approach aims to overcome the limitations of both harm-based and rights-based methodologies. We do accept the right-based approach, but to make it more operational, we would focus on the severity of “interferences” rather than on “violations.” To measure interferences, we first look at infringements of positive legal rules implementing fundamental rights. To avoid a strong dichotomy, we introduce various parameters to measure the severity of rights infringements from both objective and subjective perspectives. In addition, real-life consequences of those violations matter, but not (only) as losses or damages since we consider a broad range of consequences in terms of changes in life circumstances." (page 11) - "We emphasise the need to avoid ambiguous terms, vague definitions, or self-referential loops when defining the impact on fundamental rights. Recognizing that fundamental rights are not material objects but principles aimed at preserving dignity, we incorporate parameters that reflect their legally, politically, socially, and culturally situated nature."

He was one of the best Presidents in the American history. One of the most progressive, ecologist, consistent and, now we see, generous.

@eduardfosch @eLaw_Leiden @David_Gunkel Thank you so much, Eduard for involving me in this amazing project! Queering the law is a big mission on methods and contents!!

We are very excited at @eLaw_Leiden to have contributed to @David_Gunkel’s handbook on the #ethics of #AI with our contribution on #queering the ethics of AI co-authored by @JcMalgieri & @eduardfosch. Don’t miss it!

It's publication day! With brilliant contributions from: @SvenNyholm @EileenMHunt @voxbec @CindyFriedman23 @ElkeSchwarz @ProfChesterman @JoshGellers @profjecker @Lilyfrank16 @klincewiczm @DrSyedMustafaA1 @Sonamsangbo @eduardfosch @JcMalgieri @romelealberto @Wolven et al.
