AI Cafe #3
Their Machines, their Rules? - Legality, Rights and Accountability in Algorithmic Society
with Kristina Tica, Raphael Albert & Joaquín Santuber< /p>

This third appointment in the series of the AI Cafés looks at algori thms, machine learning and AI and their impact on personal data, as well a s the responsibility over automatic decision making processes. The partici pants will address AI Act and Digital Omnibus, current attempts of europea n institutions to regulate the industry around AI and yet leave enough roo m for economic activity. Raphael Albert will discuss how generative models interfere with our fundamental right to digital privacy and whether the c urrent legal framework on data protection provides sufficient protection a gainst such interference. Kristina Tica and Joaquín Santuber will provide insights into understanding the concept of Human Oversight, as introduced in Article 14 of the EU AI Act. The critique of this act focuses on the am biguity and limitations of human decision-making and agency in overseeing, controlling, and intervening in high-risk AI systems, which can affe ct fundamental rights. Her approach comes from media arts, where along Joa quín Santuber, they developed an interactive artwork HUMAN OVERS[A]IGHT: T HE OPS ROOM.
