The right to human intervention under the GDPR, 9th National conference of E Themis on data protection, http://congress-ethemis.gr/

Copyright limitations for teaching and education for immigrant students, 8th National Conference of the Sciences of Education, NKUA, 14-17 June 2018.

The American copyright system is philosophically founded upon theories of utilitarianism, whereas the European system, generally upon deontology. The management of the moral rights of authors and creators shows these differences very eloquently. Yet, in the last decade or so, the EU has proceeded with a number of copyright Directives which approach the American system much more than in the past ever thought possible. The paper will show how this approach has occurred and will attempt to explain why, while also stressing which is the philosophical basis that copyright should have as its primary foundation (clearly, deontology)

October 5-8, 2018, The right to be forgotten: Memory holes as the default? Amsterdam Privacy Conference, organized from the Amsterdam Platform for Privacy Research/Institute for Information Law, with George Bouchagiar

26-27 Nov. 2018, AI: Law and Policy, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem - University of Haifa, “FIGHTING ALGO-DISCRIMINATION: Relying on AI’s learning skills and embedding fair information principles within machines’ heart-design-specifications”, https://csrcl.huji.ac.il/event/ai-law-and-policy-dayI
After having built private networks of knowledge, firms are aware of users’ personal data and are capable of creating systems to sort people into groups. The potential of powerful and opaque algorithms to create discriminatory biases has been widely acknowledged, and there is no explanation provided with regard to their decision-making. People ignore ways, in which their information is created or modified, and there is a need for user-centric systems to implement trust and transparency principles into machines’ design specifications. This paper studies practices that firms conduct to algorithmically reach a perfect audience. The European regime is examined to prove the discriminatory nature of these practices and support that it cannot be justified by law. Taking into account machines’ potential, but also their ability to learn and their inability to forget, proposals are submitted to avoid discrimination. Finally, conclusions are drawn to support that data-scientists, the ones capable of making data speak, could play an important role in embedding fair information principles within machines’ life cycle.
