Did you know that the European Commission has made TikTok’s withdrawal of its Lite Rewards programme from the EU a binding decision? The programme, designed to reward users with points for engaging in platform activities like watching videos and inviting friends, raised significant concerns for its potential addictive effects, especially on children. This decision is a key development under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which mandates very large online platforms (VLOPs) to address systemic risks responsibly. Our Data Protection Advisor, Valeria Quadranti, explains the implications of this ruling and outlines the critical steps TikTok should have taken to align with the DSA's requirements: 👉 Why was TikTok's Rewards programme deemed a risk under the DSA? 👉 What does this mean for compliance by other VLOPs and VLOSEs? 👉 How can platforms proactively manage their risk assessments and mitigation? Stay informed on how the DSA is shaping online platform governance.

We're proud to share that we, in partnership with Waterford City & County Council's Climate Action Team, have launched the ScoilAer project—a groundbreaking initiative leveraging our STRIAD:AIR technology. Supported by €20,000 in funding through the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme and its IMPETUS initiative, this project equips over 1,000 students from De La Salle College and Waterpark College with the tools and knowledge to map safer, healthier walking routes to school while reducing pollution exposure. Dr. Rachel Finn, Head of Irish Operations, highlighted the students’ excitement: "Combining environmental readings with advanced analytics really opened their eyes to how AI can have positive impacts on climate action and community wellbeing."

Yesterday the Cyber Resilience Act officially came into force, introducing mandatory cybersecurity standards for digital products across the EU. This pivotal legislation ensures the cybersecurity of hardware and software, protecting businesses, consumers, and supply chains against mounting cyber threats. Our Data Protection Advisor Claudia Martorelli breaks down the CRA's key requirements, covering the questions every organisation should be asking: 👉 What products fall under the CRA’s scope? 👉 What are the mandatory cybersecurity requirements? 👉 How will this impact existing processes and compliance efforts? 👉 What are the risks of non-compliance? Stay ahead of the curve and safeguard your operations. Read the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/ekzQfdb4 #CyberResilience #EURegulations #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #Compliance #TechInnovation

Important insights from our CEO Kush Wadhwa on addressing bias in AI systems, highlighting the recent UK welfare fraud detection case. His analysis emphasises the critical need for comprehensive bias mitigation strategies - from data selection through to ongoing monitoring. Essential reading for organisations implementing AI in sensitive domains. #AIBias #ResponsibleAI #AIGovernance #EthicalAI #AIAssurance #SocialImpact
How do you mitigate bias in AI systems? Without proper attention, biased training data can often result in biased machine learning outputs. This is especially dangerous in the context of complex issues like investigating welfare fraud. The UK government recently admitted that the algorithm they are using to recommend candidates for further investigation in relation to potential fraud was biased in relation to: * Age * Disability * Marital status, and * Nationality. This raises serious concerns as it is precisely these vulnerable populations (older, single, disabled and migrant individuals) who are often most in need. On the flip side, it seems clear from last week's Guardian article that the DWP has commissioned technical “fairness” analysis and includes strict human oversight mechanisms for final decision-making. These steps go a long way in identifying, addressing and mitigating the risk of reinforcing historical bias. However, they may not be enough. Organisations implementing machine learning systems that learn from historical data about people need to take a robust, socio-technical approach to bias assessment throughout the AI lifecycle. It should include: 1. Carefully selecting data based on its quality, availability and relevance 2. Cleaning and preparing the data for machine learning 3. Conducting bias audits of the training data to understand how different categories of people are represented 4. Designing the algorithm to account for any over or under representation in the dataset. 5. Testing the performance of the algorithm for different populations and addressing any issues discovered. 6. Providing comprehensive training for users providing human oversight so that they understand the strengths and limitations of the tool and avoid automation bias. 7. Ensure algorithmic explainability so that the AI system functions as a tool that supports professional judgement. 8. Have an ongoing assurance and performance monitoring programme to catch biased outputs early and often, and support the implementation of mitigation measures. With these parameters in mind, organisations can implement AI tools with confidence, even tools for vulnerable populations or complex social problems.

Some fantastic insights from our CEO Kush Wadhwa on the pitfalls of AI, following the publication of Menlo Ventures recent report on the topic (link in comments). Well worth a read - as AI continues to develop at pace, it is critical we take a responsible approach to address potential issues from the outset. #AIAdoption #ResponsibleAI #AIGovernance #EthicalAI
What are the top four things that can go wrong when investing in AI? Across different sectors, firms are clamouring to make investments in AI that will drive efficiency, reveal new insights and advance new products and services for their organisation. At the same time, there is a lot of well-founded hesitancy around introducing AI into organisations, given the many risks that can arise. With any new technology, it takes time for people to move past the hype and take a more analytical approach to identifying the real risks and opportunities. 2024 saw a sharp rise in the number of organisations implementing AI, and we’re beginning to see some early signals about what key risks are emerging in routine AI use within an organisation. A recent study by Menlo Ventures has highlighted that when AI pilots fail, they do so for the following four reasons: 🔹 Cost of implementation 🔹 Privacy issues 🔹 Disappointing returns on investment 🔹 Hallucinations and spurious correlations For AI to work effectively in an organisation, each of these issues needs to be carefully considered before investment is made. That’s one of the key reasons why Responsible AI leads to better insights and better ROI. Adequately considering the relevance of the use case for AI, the lawful basis for the data processing, effective anonymisation and model performance can ensure that organisations get the most out of their AI investment. Otherwise, it can be a costly and wasted effort.
