Brilliant research by @JBAGerritsen on whether we have precedents already for co-regulation by certifying bodies for safety and GDPR regulators under EU law. cf @EU_EDPS complaint this not taken into a/c in draft EU AI Reg. I did not see the Weighing Instruments Dir coming :)

Your questions inspired me to investigate all product safety directives that I know of. I checked if these sources mention "personal data". Results below! ⤵️

Great article by @ambaonadventure + @benzevgreen on automated decision making and human oversight. The call for human oversight creates shallow protection that can be avoided in superficial ways. #GDPR #ADM cnto.io/wtMgXDRth

Fraude opsporen of gevaar van discriminatie? Gemeenten gebruiken 'slimme' algoritmes

Net als andere overheden leunen gemeenten in toenemende mate op slimme algoritmes en risicoprofilering. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van de NOS in samenwerking met regionale omroepen.
