#EU #DSA #AI #Algorithms #Transparency #ECAT: "As the European Union gears up to enforce a major reboot of its digital rulebook in a matter of months, a new dedicated research unit is being spun up to support oversight of large platforms under the bloc’s flagship Digital Services Act (DSA).

The European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (ECAT), which was officially inaugurated in Seville, Spain, today (April 18), is expected to play a major role in interrogating the algorithms of mainstream digital services — such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

ECAT is embedded within the EU’s existing Joint Research Centre (JRC), a long-established science facility that conducts research in support of a broad range of EU policymaking, from climate change and crisis management to taxation and health sciences. But while the ECAT is embedded within the JRC — and temporarily housed in the same austere-looking building (Seville’s World Trade Centre), ahead of getting more open-plan bespoke digs in the coming years — it has a dedicated focus on the DSA, supporting lawmakers to gather evidence to build cases so they can act on any platforms that don’t take their obligations seriously."

Just coming back from the launch of the European Center for Algorithmic Transparency in Sevilla #ecat #dsa - I wrote some reflections on the future of algorithmic auditing

Our #ThrowbackThursday goes to sunny Sevilla

The new European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency was inaugurated this week in Las Setas

#ECAT will support the enforcement of the #DigitalServicesAct opening the black box of #algorithms, towards a safer online space.

Thanks to the European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency for a memorable launch & inviting @johnalbert to share our work on auditing #algorithms!

We look forward to engaging with #ECAT's expert team in holding platforms accountable for systemic risks.

#Europe spins up #AI research hub to apply accountability rules on #BigTech. The European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (#ECAT), is expected to play a major role in interrogating the algorithms of mainstream digital services — such as #Facebook, #Instagram and #TikTok etcetera. #EU #artificialintelligence

Interesting/unsurprising that the first speakers at #ECAT were entirely focused on #AI, despite the Centre’s (previous) focus on the #DigitalServicesAct. The EC knows where all the media interest is… Also good to hear Francesca Bria, with too many good points to summarise!

Time to worry: when the free energy guru you've invested your life savings in and hasn't produced a single product after 30 years starts wearing a toupee.

A ray of hope: he's clearly not spent all of your money on a good toupee.
