Leidraad kwaliteit AI in de zorg
Een aantal weken geleden is in opdracht van het ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Wetenschap en Sport een leidraad gepubliceerd: ‘Leidraad kwaliteit AI in de zorg’. Deze leidraad is ontwikkeld door en voor het veld met het oog op voorspellende AI-gestuurde algoritmen. Voor het veld is het een goede stap om met meer vertrouwen AI toe te passen in de dagelijkse zorgpraktijk.
A data ‘black hole’: Europol ordered to delete vast store of personal data
The EU’s police agency, Europol, will be forced to delete much of a vast store of personal data that it has been found to have amassed unlawfully by the bloc’s data protection watchdog. The unprecedented finding from the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) targets what privacy experts are calling a “big data ark” containing billions of points of information. Sensitive data in the ark has been drawn from crime reports, hacked from encrypted phone services and sampled from asylum seekers never involved in any crime.

Zuckerberg’s Meta endgame is monetizing all human behavior
When Facebook bought Oculus and its much-hyped Rift headset for $2 billion way back in 2014, it wasn’t clear exactly what the social media company had in mind for the resurgent frontier of virtual reality. But to anyone familiar with the company’s countless scandals and insatiable appetite for personal data, it wasn’t hard to guess. The announcement of Meta, the company’s VR and AR-forward rebrand, is the culmination of a vision that should have been obvious from the start.

Fairness and AI governance – responsibility and reality
This essay is about a central and growing problem in AI governance: the gap between what people are experiencing from AI technologies, and regulatory and policy discussions about those technologies. I gave a talk at the GOAL project recently about how the claims of political movements such as Black Lives Matter, MeToo, and organising by gig economy and big tech workers represent core concerns for AI regulation but are not recognised as such.
Europe seeks to limit use of AI in society
