@AtlasLabHQ is the space for collective #strategy, designed to inform and connect the legal community around #AI-related topics that increasingly show up in high-stakes #litigation
This is a particularly urgent conversation to have in the #digitalrights field, given the belief that technology will liberate us from these biases. In reality, we can see that it is deepening these divides and automating these systems of oppression.
This is so important: decolonisation is core to all of our work as NGOs and non-profits. We are striving to create a future that is equitable and just. To do that, we need to dismantle the systems of racism, anti-blackness, and colonisation embedded in every aspect of our society
Next week, we will be launching Atlas Lab, born out of a collaboration between @mozilla and @df_fund with the goal to bridge the knowledge gap between #technology and #law - with the core focus on #litigators working on #AI cases around the world. Follow us to stay updated!
Next Friday, Edward @Snowden will host Tor’s third PrivChat, a fundraising livestream event and conversation with human rights defenders + real-life Tor users @flexlibris, @ramyraoof, & @btayeg. You're invited, so set your reminder: https://t.co/QrBh5HxGzg

Great news! The District Court of the Hague ruled today that the #SyRI risk profiling system is unlawful. An important win for those concerned about the risks the #digitalwelfarestate poses for #humanrights. Congratulations to @PILPNJCM @ubentverdacht and all involved the case!
Why it's vital that litigators and technologists work together to dismantle the drivers of surveillance-based business models, and hold those applying harmful tech to account.

Across Latin America, technologists are being targeted by law enforcement not for what they've done, but what they know. Human rights law protects everyone, including the right of security researchers to speak out. https://t.co/uQInE7hEf2
