CLaw 2017 @ Vancouver
Apr 17 all-day
CLaw 2017 @ Vancouver | Vancouver | British Columbia | Canada

With cloud computing continuing to revolutionise the provision of IT services, and the promises and threats of the Internet of Things (IoT) growing by the day, legal and policy concerns surrounding technology are increasing salience and prominence. Existing and proposed regulatory and governance regimes place obligations on those who manage (process, analyse, use, and collect) data. The end-users of applications provisioned in the cloud and IoT also have certain rights that must be respected – various parties all bear varying degrees of responsibility, which must be properly managed.

Managing these rights and responsibilities is becoming increasingly complex, both technically and legally, particularly due to the emergence of new cloud services and models, as well as because of movements towards collaborative, decentralised and mobile clouds. For instance, the cloud will play an integral role in supporting the evolving IoT, which exacerbates issues of scale and data management while bringing real (physical) world considerations. The increasing prevalence of machine learning technology adds another degree of complexity.

Building on the successes of the previous workshops, CLaw 2017 aims to facilitate an interdisciplinary exploration of tech-legal challenges as regards emerging systems technologies.

Algorithms and Explanations @ New York
Apr 27 @ 8:30 am – 6:30 pm
Algorithms and Explanations @ New York | New York | New York | United States

Abstract:
Explanation has long been deemed a crucial aspect of accountability.  By requiring that powerful actors explain the bases of their decisions — the logic goes — we reduce the risks of error, abuse, and arbitrariness, thus producing more socially desirable decisions.  Decisionmaking processes employing machine learning algorithms and similar data-driven approaches complicate this equation.  Such approaches promise to refine and improve the accuracy and efficiency of decisionmaking processes, but the logic and rationale behind each decision remains opaque to human understanding.  The conference will grapple with the question of when and to what extent decisionmakers should be legally or ethically obligated to provide humanly meaningful explanations of individual decisions to those who are affected or to society at large.
