Algorithmic Transparency, Platform Regulation, and Emerging AI Legislation: Doing Science for Policy at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission
Maria Eriksson, senior researcher, European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (ECAT)
Abstract: Scientists at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) carry out research in various fields to provide independent advice to EU policymakers and put science at the heart of European policies. Originally established under the Euratom Treaty, the JRC has longstanding expertise in the nuclear field, but offers scientific competences from a wide range of disciplines to support almost all EU policy areas. In this talk Maria Eriksson, who works as a Senior Researcher at the European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (ECAT), will share her experience working at the JRC and providing scientific expertise and advise to the implementation of the EU AI Act and Digital Services Act: two EU regulations that pioneer efforts to regulate online platforms, algorithmic systems, and artificial intelligence.
