This is an experiment in #AI: I rewrote an excerpt from my PhD thesis using #chatgpt (GPT4) and Quillbot. https://t.co/HiAMNQcgjS
I’m happy to share that I’m also available to consult on data protection issues as a Privacy Advisory Professional!
This involves developing privacy policies, looking at compliance issues, analysing business needs and balancing personal data processing…https://t.co/WC93nht90e
I recently got my dad to start a YouTube channel for the personality test he developed using Indian knowledge traditions. New videos are up 3 times a week (I'm doing the editing). Do like, subscribe and share to feed the algorithm monster.

I'm very excited to share that I recently co-authored a #HumanRights impact assessment report for the #EU. It was requested by the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs at the @Europarl_EN for the EU's legislative process.

While this is a laudable goal, adopting such a regulation could have significant direct and indirect impacts on human and #fundamentalrights which have not been addressed. We propose a number of safeguards that may make the law more effective while still protecting them.
Forced to travel back from NL to Malta during this #CoronaLockdown, @MFEAMalta offered to "repatriate" me back on their last flight from Frankfurt, even checking in once I got back. Amazed at their promptness, efficiency, and generosity in including a non-citizen. Thank you!
@H2020_ESSENTIAL researcher @ketansmodh is carrying out a survey on #culture and #national#identity documents as part of his research. If you would like to take part, the survey can be found here: https://t.co/tKloEAdZlq
The survey is voluntary and entirely anonymous (personal data, such as IP addresses or location, will NOT be recorded).
Your response, and the sharing of this survey (should you choose to do so), are much appreciated!

Hello folks, I need your help. I'm currently doing a PhD on culture and national identity documents. I am running a survey. To participate, you must be 18 years or older.
The survey will take no more than 15 minutes. Please answer the questions to your comfort level.

I’ve just spent two days at the @H2020_ESSENTIAL Mid Term #EssentialConf with a richly skilled, open minded set of diverse policy makers and academics, gathered around over a dozen early stage researchers (ESRs) half way through their EU #Horizon2020 funded PhDs. -/2
@ketansmodh: Culture can play an important role in how people react to identity management requirements. Discusses how attitudes on the national level, individual level and other factors such as trust in government can affect attitudes to identity management. #EssentialConf
@ketansmodh: Highlights the importance of considering national and individual attitudes separately, as a tendency exists to assign individuals an attitude based on whether their state has an individual or collectivist culture. Not the same. #EssentialConf#EssentialProject
