I want more transparency from web search results pages. Why were some keywords discarded? Why were others replaced with entirely different terms? Too often, I find myself staring at a list of results that bear no resemblance to the original query. Occasionally, I do find the substitutions useful — but more often than not, I don’t even see the connection between my search query and the results. #AlgorithmicTransparency #SERP #UX

On 18 April 2023, the #EU inaugurated the new European Centre for #AlgorithmicTransparency. Its goal is to create a safer, more predictable and trusted #OnlineEnvironment.

Dubal is interested in more than analysis, she wants action. She looks at the tactics deployed by gig workers, who have not taken all this abuse lying down. Workers in the UK and EU organized through Worker Info Exchange and the App Drivers and Couriers Union have used the #GDPR (the EU's privacy law) to demand "#AlgorithmicTransparency," as well as access to their data. In California, drivers hope to use similar provisions in the #CCPA (a state privacy law) to do the same.

1/4 🧵 🌐 #ALGORITHMICTRANSPARENCY AND #POLICYNARRATIVES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION 🇪🇺 🌐

Algorithmic transparency and policy narratives are important issues in the European Union 🇪🇺 for several reasons.

First, the use of #algorithms in decision-making processes can have a significant impact on individuals and society as a whole. For example, algorithms can be used to make decisions about creditworthiness, employment, and even criminal justice⤵️🧵

The EU's requirement for algorithmic transparency and the arrival of LLMs such as ChatGPT could bear very problematic offspring.

We want state regulation - we want #algorithmictransparency - to increase trust in automated decision making, better responsibility and legal consequences for ADMS. Tanja & David from @digiges presenting arguably the most urgent topic of the day at #dinacon22

@carmeartigas I’m glad to see the move beyond just data protection to the second step I outlined in my talk to the European Parliament three years ago.

Here’s hoping we can move to step 3 also (data minimisation).

@carmeartigas Hi Carme, good to see a public figure from the government on the fediverse. Also, greetings from the past (I was working for you years ago!)

This is very good news for our country. Will this make Spain 🇪🇸 work harder to achieve said #AlgorithmicTransparency, and stop blocking attempts from the society to know how decisions are made?

So here’s the interesting thing: we now know more about how Trump’s upcoming social network works than we do about Facebook, et al.

Of course, it doesn’t mean the source they publish is the code that’s running on their servers. (And, c’mon, this is motherfucking Trump we’re talking about here…) To ensure that you’d need independent audits. In fact, I don’t now how you could ensure compliance with AGPL without ongoing independent audits…
