- Title: "Challenges and approaches for fairness in AI"
Main research findings
Privacy is a human right and an essential prerequisite for protecting fundamental human values, such as dignity and autonomy. However, people have difficulty understanding how their privacy is affected by the current practices in the technological world and are often unaware of its value and the implications of its loss.
The complexity of the privacy concept as such and of digital data and technology makes it difficult for one to evaluate the privacy properties of a specific piece of technology. The difficulty is not only for average people, but also for regulators when checking for compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR and for developers when implementing privacy-aware digital services.
The present thesis addresses this challenge by proposing a way to measure the usability of privacy in order to make it easy for users to understand how well their privacy is respected by a company or product. For conveying the privacy implications in an accessible manner, we develop the concept of Privacy Labels using a multidisciplinary approach involving also other stakeholders such as businesses, programmers, and lawyers.
