Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a reality and has woven its way into everyday life: navigation systems, spam filters, weather forecasts to name but a few.

There have been significant advancements in the field of machine learning, a subset of AI. The machines learn due to the complex algorithms that allow them to analyse huge data sets and make predictions using these data. Along with enhancing the machines’ skills, increasing amounts of data are being collected and information on human behaviour are being monitored; all of which present challenges for privacy and data protection.

TechDispatch #2/2025 - Human Oversight of Automated Decision-Making

Two centuries of technological progress have redefined society, as industrial and digital automation have modified how people live, work, and how we interact with each other. What began with mechanised production lines to increase efficiency has evolved into autonomous and semi-autonomous systems capable of analysing data and making decisions with minimal human involvement. Propelled by breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) - such as deep learning and transformer architectures - this automation now spans a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, finance, military defence, transportation, and public administration.

TechDispatch #1/2025 - Federated Learning

Federated Learning (FL) presents a promising approach to machine learning (ML) by allowing multiple sources of data (devices or entities) to collaboratively train a shared model while keeping data decentralised. This approach mitigates privacy risks as raw data remains locally on the sources, which is particularly beneficial in scenarios where data sensitivity or regulatory requirements make data centralisation[1] impractical. Applications of FL are diverse, spanning personalised recommendations, healthcare data analysis, data spaces, and autonomous transport systems, where ensuring privacy and data protection is paramount.
