SUMMARY:Digital Services Act: A Game Changer for our Fundamental Rights? [updated link to live stream]
DESCRIPTION:With the Digital Services Act (DSA)\, the European Union is to adopt landmark legislation that will create a framework to regulate online platforms around the world. The DSA will have an impact on the free expression of opinions online\, our choices as consumers\, the right to privacy and the basic mechanisms of the global Internet. It could address hotly debated issues such as surveillance capitalism\, upload filtering and platform lock-in. The event will focus on how to place the rights and freedoms of citizens at the center of the new digital services regulation. The panelists will present their views on some of the key provisions foreseen in the DSA: How to tackle illegal content\, disinformation and hate speech online in line with the citizens’ right to freedom of expression? What will the future of ad-based business models look like? How to ensure the diversity of the digital ecosystem? \nThe event will bring together experts from the European Parliament\, the European Commission\, the Fundamental Rights Agency and civil society. Join us on 6 September\, 18:00 (Brussels time) for the debate! \nYou can join the event through our live stream on PeerTube\, Twitter and Facebook and Youtube \nProgramme:  \n\nWelcome by MEP Breyer\nOpening Remarks: IMCO DSA Rapporteur MEP Christel Schadelmose\nPresentation by Werner Stengg\, Digital Expert in the cabinet of Executive-Vice President Vestager\nPresentation by David Reichel\, Data and Research Unit (AI and Content Moderation) at the European Agency for Fundamental Rights\nPresentation by Christoph Schmon\, International Policy Director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation\nPresentation by Shoshana Zuboff\, Digital Economist and author of the best-selling book “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” \n\nQ&A with panelists and audience\, moderated by Jennifer Baker\nClosing Remarks: MEP Breyer\n\n  \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nMEP Christel Schaldemose is the European Parliament’s Rapporteur on the Digital Services Act. She is the S&D group’s coordinator in the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) and also a Member of the Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence in a Digital Age (AIDA). Christel Schaldemose has been a Member of the European Parliament since 2006 and heads the Danish delegation of social democrats.\n\n\n\nShoshana Zuboff‘s best-selling book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power\, synthesizes years of research and thinking in order to reveal a world in which technology users are neither customers\, employees\, nor products. Instead they are the raw material for new procedures of manufacturing and sales that define an entirely new economic order: a surveillance economy. She is the Charles Edward Wilson Professor Emerita at Harvard Business School and a former Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School.\n\n\n\nChristoph Schmon is the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s International Policy Director. Christoph has in-depth expertise in EU policy-making and a special focus on international copyright law and online intermediary liability. Prior to working for EFF\, he led the Consumer Rights Team at the EU Consumer Organisation (BEUC) and was appointed member of several expert groups to the EU Commission in Brussels.\n\n\n\nWerner Stengg\, who joined the European institutions in 1996\, is currently in the cabinet of Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager\, dealing with digital matters. Between 2006 and 2019\, he held different head of unit positions across the European Commission\, dealing with e-commerce and online platforms\, public interest services\, online gambling and postal services\, and with the better regulation agenda. Prior to that he was involved in mainstreaming policy evaluation across the Commission\, in the negotiation of bilateral and multilateral textile trade agreements\, and in the negotiations on regulatory files in the areas of aviation and maritime transport. He earned his doctoral degree in economics from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration.\n\n\n\nDr. David Reichel works in the Research & Data Unit at the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). He is responsible for managing FRA’s research projects in the area of artificial intelligence and online content moderation. He is also working on the FRA’s large scale surveys and has extensive experience in statistical data analysis on fundamental rights. He has published numerous articles\, papers and book chapters on issues related to migration\, citizenship and human rights.\n\n\n\nHosted by:  \n\n\n\n\nMEP Patrick Breyer is the Civil Liberties\, Justice and Home Affairs Committee’s opinion rapporteur for the Digital Services Act. He is a jurist and Member of the European Parliament with the European Pirates who have joined the Greens/European Free Alliance Group.

SUMMARY:Coded Bias – On Discriminatory Algorithms and the Need to Ban Biometric Mass Surveillance Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening and panel debate (from 20:45) – Register here! \nMy group’s campaign against biometric mass surveillance is organizing a screening of Shalini Kantayya’s award-winning documentary “Coded Bias” followed by a panel debate (from 20:45) on algorithmic biases and how they are being addressed in the Artificial Intelligence Regulation. \nOn the 28th September\, a hybrid event will be organized\, taking place at the Palace cinema in Brussels and virtually online. The hybrid format will allow for participants to join the screening and the conversation from the comfort of their homes. \nParticipants can join the event by receiving free access to the film by registering here. You can watch the film on Tuesday 28 September from 6.00h until midnight. We recommend starting at least before 19.00h\, so that you finish in time for our panel discussion starting at 20.45h. \nMEPs Patrick Breyer\, Saskia Bricmont\, Gwendoline Delbors-Corfield\, Kim van Sparrentak and Tineke Stirk will be joined by key stakeholders and policy-makers on the AIA\, to discuss a number of key aspects of the proposed legislation. \nWe are very pleased to announce the following panelists: \n\nShalini Kantayya\, Director of ‘Coded Bias’ – via virtual attendance from U.S.\nWojciech Wiewiórowski\, European Data Protection Supervisor\nBrando Benifei MEP\, Rapporteur on the Artificial Intelligence Regulation (S&D) – via video statement\nIrina Orssich\, Team Leader for Artificial Intelligence\, DG CNECT\, European Commission\nElla Jakubowska\, Campaigner and Coordinator of the European Citizens’ Initiative “Reclaim Your Face” (European Digital Rights)\nKim van Sparrentak MEP\, shadow rapporteur on the Artificial Intelligence Regulation (Greens/EFA)\n\nWe invite you to join the debate on the impact and built-in biases of algorithmic decision-making technologies\, by attending our screening and high-level panel debate on the fundamental rights’ impact of biometric mass surveillance technologies and the EU’s approach to regulate algorithmic decision-making in the proposed Artificial Intelligence Regulation. \nWhat is biometric mass surveillance?\nBiometric mass surveillance is the monitoring\, tracking\, and otherwise processing of the biometric data of individuals or groups in an indiscriminate or arbitrarily targeted manner. Biometric data includes highly sensitive data about our body or behaviour. When used to scan everyone in public or publicly accessible spaces (a form of mass surveillance) biometric processing violates a wide range of fundamental rights. \nBiometric surveillance technologies have the potential to fundamentally change our societies by fuelling pervasive mass surveillance and discrimination. With her chilling exploration of the built-in bias of machine-learning technologies\, Shalini Kantayya’s ‘Coded Bias’ reveals how algorithms can perpetuate existing class\, race and gender discrimination. \nAt the same time\, more and more people are standing up against the deployment of these technologies. In the United States\, lawmakers have already started to impose bans on the use of some of the most invasive forms of algorithmic decision-making software: namely facial recognition technologies. \nIn the European Union\, on the other hand\, governments are beginning to experiment with systems of facial recognition and other biometric mass surveillance technologies in public spaces. With the upcoming Artificial Intelligence Regulation\, the European Union has the chance to safeguard our fundamental rights and to ban biometric surveillance technologies that magnify the discrimination that women\, people of colour and other marginalised groups in the European Union already face today.
