Join us for an evening of networking to explore the complexities of AI transparency, discuss its impact on responsibility, and how it affects individuals at our AI Happy Hour event! This in-person event will take place on Monday 26 May at 17:30 in the FARI Test and Experience Center (Cantersteen 16, 1000 Brussels).
Dr Ine van Zeeland is a postdoc researcher and lecturer at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (imec-SMIT) and Universiteit Hasselt (SSW). Her research is centered around the protection of personal data and the responsible use of AI in organisational practice.
Description of the session:
Transparency on algorithmic systems is often presented as a way to hold systems accountable and to empower users and ‘data subjects’. As such, it is also required in various kinds of legislation. But doesn’t transparency just shift the burden of understanding complicated systems onto the people most affected by their decisions? Certainly, transparency is a necessary condition for data subjects to exercise their rights, but does it really help them in practice?
In this talk, Ine van Zeeland will argue that transparency on algorithmic systems delegates the work of explanation and shifts responsibilities. The result is a subtle—but significant—transfer of labour: from the organizations that design and deploy these systems, to workers, citizens, and patients tasked with interpreting, navigating, and making sense of them. Transparency, in other words, significantly changes who is responsible for dealing with the consequences of algorithmic systems.
