- TITLE: Data Subject Rights and Machine Learning Models - When, Why, and How?
- SPEAKER: Meiko Jensen, Karlstad University
- ABSTRACT: The explosion of use cases for applying different types of machine learning models in real-world settings has led to a lot of open questions when it comes to the handling personal data. According to the European legislation, all processing of personal information has to comply with the GDPR, hence has to allow for enforcing data subject rights with respect to the data processing system considered. However, if said personal data was part of a training dataset used to optimize a machine learning model, to what extent is this enforcement feasible or realistic? How does this relate to the GDPR concept of anonymity, and what do the data protection authorities demand in this respect? In this talk, I will shed a brief light on these and related questions, providing a research perspective on the legal requirements and technical feasibilities.
11:00h Discussion.
