New Research Report: Civic Participation in the Datafied Society
New Research Report: Civic Participation in the Datafied Society
Although data systems are rapidly rolled out in the public sector and state-citizen relations become increasingly automated, there is little public knowledge about these developments, with few possibilities to intervene into, and participate in, decisions about the use of data systems.

Artificial intelligence – a tool of austerity
Artificial intelligence – a tool of austerity
This week Human Rights Watch published a much-needed comment on the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation.

Facial recognition cameras arrive in UK school canteens
Facial recognition cameras arrive in UK school canteens
Advocates say they speed up queues, but privacy campaigners query whether they are necessary. Facial recognition computers have found an unlikely new niche: scanning the faces of thousands of British pupils in school canteens. On Monday, nine schools in North Ayrshire will start taking payments for school lunches by scanning the faces of pupils, claiming that the new system speeds up queues and is more Covid-secure than the card payments and fingerprint scanners they used previously.

Pulse oximetry racial bias report

Black African migrants: the barriers with accessing and utilizing health promotion services in the UK
The inequalities for different ethnicities and social classes in accessing health services is well documented, but although a number of recent policy developments have aimed to tackle health inequalities, very little is known about the experiences of Black African migrant communities in accessing health promotion information and services.

Covid Vaccine: Employees Who Get Shots Enjoy More Office Benefits Than Holdouts - Bloomberg
In the U.K., a recent poll suggested that while Britons were strongly supportive of vaccine passports in principle, agreement broke down when asked whether they should be compulsory for pub visits. For marginalised groups, this feels like nudge theory to overcome a reluctance (based on real trauma) to trust public health services: “some employees who don’t want to get the vaccine feel harassed and ostracized.”
