How the main legal and ethical issues in Machine Learning arose and evolved. What events in the past caused this massive invasion of our privacy that is leading to a manipulated society and monitored democracies. And, most importantly, what are the possible solutions.
Today we will be talking about the following issues: 1. Why it is being difficult for people in many countries to adapt to contact-tracing apps,
Do you know companies like Acxiom, Criteo, Equifax, Experian, Oracle, Quantcast, Tapad? I’m sure many of you don’t know them, but they know us very well. They are one of the main culprits of big organizations using profiles to make decisions that can seriously affect our lives, and our family’s.
Much is said about discriminations and biases through predictions and profiles made by Machine Learning algorithms, but very little is said about the quality of the data used to train that algorithm as one of the causes of those discriminations.
In this article I talk about the problem of using low data quality to train algorithms, and how organizations can be more transparent and ethical.
Virginia Dignum, Ricardo Vinuesa, Andreas Theodoru and I wrote a scientific paper, aimed at governments and decision makers, describing the ethical framework by which contact-tracing
What possible privacy solutions can organisations apply to protect their users? Is there any measure that is 100% efficient? Or is it about combining different measures?
Online pricing policies are generally not transparent to customers, and are based on parameters that we completely ignore. This opens up a series of opportunities for online price discrimination. Zip Codes and user’s location data are usually used to this end, and it is scientifically demonstrated.
In this article I have reviewed different price discrimination cases in different areas where you can realize that you actually are also a victim.
Did you know that the Comunidad Valenciana is the ONLY EUROPEAN REGION that protects their student’s privacy in public schools through OpenSource tools and platforms?
What Open Source tools the Comunidad Valenciana has implemented in the education area, and what are the improvements that must be implemented to protect, even more, their students’ privacy.
