A short blogpost detailing my experience of censorship at the AI for Good Summit with links to both original and censored versions of slides and links to my talk

Indeed! I wrote an article recently called "Simple now, Complex later: The Questionable Efficacy of Diluting GDPR Article 30(5)" which shows that this exemption is toothless and actually risks increasing issues! doi.org/10.31235/osf...

Unethical - if there are things in the work intended or unintended to obscure or manipulate or influence the "reviewer" they are by definition unethical.

Same. I've started using "social media" as my literature review source to get updates and know about work/stuff. So it's less personal and more professional.

I'll start with an obvious ones: data on device and the advertising identifier. I wish there was a penalty for such obvious lies 😪

Agree. Looks increasingly like the selling point is either to trigger the fear of social judgement (language), or being left behind (prestige), or to encourage not having to take responsibility (learning).

😲 this is becoming a worrying trend - there was also a hugely missing presence (through exclusion) of civil society in the AI Act GenAI code of conduct workshops

So it wasn't just me! I called Vista the "frosted glass" look and was laughing when Apple launched "liquid glass". If its anything like Vista, with the UX also changing, it will feel pretty for a week and then we will realise it's full of friction and wastes time. Hopefully not.

Combine this with use of personal data to train models which could then contain it in pseudonymous form, and we're going to be in a pickle to fix the mess. We need to address that before it gets too complicated both legally and socially.

DP people also have diversity and factions ;) My personal worry is that instead of regulating processing of personal data we're now heading towards what looks more like PII, thereby losing a strong privacy foundation in US regulations.

Thanks for sharing. This is getting increasingly absurd. The relativity goes against the GDPR is as it leads to weird cases such as processors not professing personal data and not being subject to the GDPR, and not to mention the high risk of advertisers wanting to use this as loophole.
