CoE launches public consultation on human rights impact of algorithmic systems
The Steering Committee on Media and Information Society (CDMSI) of the Council of Europe has published draft recommendation on the human rights impacts of algorithmic systems and invites comments from the public.
Draft recommendation outlines that private sector actors should actively engage in participatory processes with consumer associations and data protection authorities for the design, implementation and evaluation of their complaint mechanisms, including collective redress mechanisms.
In addition, private sector actors must adequately train the staff involved in the review of algorithmic systems on, among other things, applicable personal data protection and privacy standards.
