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’

👋 Anybody here going to be at @FAccT #FAccT #FAccT2025? @DrVeronikaCH and I will be attending, would love to connect and discuss about data-centric approaches!
How to use FaCCT (ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency) template for journals requiring use of #LaTeX templates
https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr#:Rr9ab:
Guidelines for the conference will link to the ACM proceedings guide, as #FaCCT is an Association for Computing Machinery #ACM conference.
Organized with @DrVeronikaCH , Théo Sourget and Steff Groefsema. Website: https://medical-datasets.github.io/webinar/
The webinar will be hosted on Zoom, register here https://itucph.zoom.us/meeting/register/-koafnhwR9aR3uhBEPcfag
Looking forward to your participation in making this a great event! 😊

The preprint of our #recsys2024 LBR paper on "Understanding Fairnesss in Recommender Systems: A Healthcare Perspective" is now available at https://alansaid.com/publications/2024-kecki-fairness/

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)
