My ACM #FAccT paper on Mapping the Stochastic Penal Colony 🏝️ has been published: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3805689.3812392. The talk today went really well, if I may say so myself. Alas, the video will be posted in a few weeks, after the conference. 🎉

The Netherlands: the police quietly stop using CAS (the Crime Anticipation System), a country-wide predictive policing system.

‘Ten years ago, The Netherlands introduced a national police system that used data and algorithms to predict crime rates in neighbourhoods. It never worked properly, and warnings about bias had been raised for years.’

‘Politie stapte in stilte af van algoritme dat kans op misdaad in buurten zou voorspellen’

Nina Baranowska, @philipphacker, Alessandro Fabris & I published a new pre-print:

'Non-discrimination law in Europe: a primer for non-lawyers'

We have tried to write it in such a ways that non-lawyers can follow the text. We hope we succeeded a bit :)

If you have suggestions to improve the paper, we would love to hear them!

That's the fun thing of a pre-print: we can still amend things.

#SIMswap hijacking #phone numbers in #eSIM attacks
Russian #cybersecurity firm #FACCT reports that #SIM swappers in the country and worldwide have been taking advantage of this shift to eSIMs to hijack phone numbers and bypass protections to access bank accounts. Now, attackers breach a user's mobile account with stolen, brute-forced, or leaked credentials and initiate porting the victim's number to another device on their own.

"Going back to #FAccT, I should mention that, in browsing recent papers, it seems that many participants are willing to ask not just the how-to-build-it-better question, but the should-we-build-it question. This line distinguishes discourse that power will have no problem with and discourse that will be painted as radical, regressive, and inappropriate" https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/papers/crisis/crisis.pdf

What are the key concepts a 2 hours long lecture on #FAccT / #FATE in #recsys should cover? (pointers to papers appreciated). The lecture will be part of our #cogsci program, specifically in a course on influence in in digital society (https://kursplaner.gu.se/english/tig119.pdf)

"Even the most impressive #AIchatbots require thousands of human work hours to behave in a way their creators want them to, and even then they do it unreliably. The work can be brutal and upsetting, as we will hear this week when the ACM Conference on #Fairness, #Accountability, and #Transparency (#FAccT) gets underway. It’s a conference that brings together research on things I like to write about, such as how to make #AISystems more #accountable and #ethical." https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/06/13/1074560/we-are-all-ais-free-data-workers/
