Around the world, governments are trying to make automated decision-making more accountable: New York city introduced a bill that would require the city to make public the computer instructions that are used, invisibly, in all kinds of government decision-making. In Europe, the GDPR which will enter into force in May 2018, gives citizens (not just in Europe) more rights with regards to profiling and automated decision-making.

Discussions around GDPR and AI are often narrowly focussed on the "right to explanation". Yet, comprehensive data protection laws have much more far-reaching implications for AI, in that they regulate how personal data can be processed. In this session we will discuss the merits of different regulatory approaches and debate how they can be used strategically.
