Hello participants,

Platform governance brings with it the challenge of algorithmic censorship - without accountability. Divij Joshi has been questioning this practice through his research for the last few years. This year, Thus Critique hosted Divij to explain the concept and practice on https://hasgeek.com/thus/platforms-privatized-censorship-and-free-speech-in-india/

This Friday, Divij showcases the outcomes of his research and advocacy - The AI Observatory, an open, interactive toolkit for interrogating and challenging consequential automated decision-making systems in India. The project documents and explores how government agencies in India are utilising automated decision-making systems, what harms and risk they pose, and explores participatory accountability for such systems.

There is also a panel discussion on Algorithmic Accountability in Practice with Anton Ekker (Independent Legal Practitioner), Cori Crider (Foxglove, UK), Matthias Spielkamp (Algorithm Watch), Vrinda Bhandari (Independent Legal Practitioner), Divij Joshi moderated by Arindrajit Basu (CIS).

On Friday, 18 December, watch the livestream and leave questions on https://hasgeek.com/cisindia/automated-republic-interrogating-government-use-of-automated-decision-making-systems/comments
