In a Press Statement issued this afternoon, the EDPS expresses concerns that the amended Europol Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2022/991, published today in the Official Journal of the EU, weakens data protection supervision. Read more here https://europa.eu/!MnfPrN

The EDPS conference "The future of #dataprotection: effective enforcement in the digital world" is over and we would like to thank you for the genuine discussion sparked over the two days. Read the Farewell Letter from #EDPS @W_Wiewiorowski@twitter.com: https://europa.eu/!Qqbdk9 #EDPSconf2022

#Cookies pop-ups are often not compliant with the law from a technical point of view as well as in their content: #darkpatterns are often use to deceive users @MAttoresi@twitter.com.

Panel on Privacy by Design and #Cookies at #APF22 - #EDPS represented by @MAttoresti@twitter.com to clarify the EDPS views and guidelines on the protection of personal data processed through web services

30 years ago, academia already started studying effects of #AI. At #EDPS, we are adopting a foresight approach in order to tackle upcoming technologies that may undermine fundamental rights of individuals

Annual Privacy Forum 2022 - Keynote speech by #EDPS @W_Wiewiorowski@twitter.com on scientific research, the role of #EU regulators, Artificial Intelligence and #GDPR enforcement. Honoured to be invited once again in such an important event to express views from #EDPS #APF22

To conclude, we might not be close to reaching a self-aware #AI with a level of consciousness similar to humans.
Still, it will not be less dangerous because of that.
In fact, they may be as dangerous to society as the people who use them: as any other technology @cerveranavas@twitter.com

Another prominent topic is the evolution of social networks into the so-called #Metaverse.
Metaverse will act as a digital twin to our universe, our reality and it will most probably rely on even more processing of personal data than traditional social media do @cerveranavas@twitter.com

This is why the EDPB issued Guidelines on use of Facial Recognition Technology in area of enforcement remind that Facial Recognition Technology is built on the processing of biometric data, which are special categories of personal data @cerveranavas@twitter.com

Contrasting with @EU_EDPB@twitter.com-#EDPS position on the call for a moratorium on use of remote biometric identification systems in publicly accessible spaces, we witness that more and more law enforcement authorities apply or intend to apply FRT, often resorting to #AI @cerveranavas@twitter.com

We ask a ban on:
- remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces;
- facial recognition systems (FRS) categorising individuals based on their biometrics into clusters
- technologies allowing to infer emotions of a natural person

The need to ensure #transparency on the #AI-based data processing was one of the aspects highlighted by the @EU_EDPB@twitter.com-#EDPS joint opinion which envisages series of changes to ensure its full alignment with the #EU data protection framework @cerveranavas@twitter.com

Controllers can also be affected by the lack of #transparency of #AI systems they use, in particular when they are not sufficiently aware of their technicalities and their impact on individuals' rights @cerveranavas@twitter.com #APF22

Annual Privacy Forum 2022 @enisa_eu@twitter.com, #EDPS Director @cerveranavas@twitter.com speaking on #AI.
It is difficult to ensure #transparency when using AI on data processing
Individuals may not be able to identify if they have been affected by an automated decision taken nor to be informed
