We have prepared an easy-to-read infographic on developments at the AI Act trilateral conferences
How are the tripartite conferences progressing in the context of the adoption of the proposed EU AI legislation?
Together with European Digital Rights and other key civil society organisations we have been working closely with over the last few years on this legislative dossier, we have prepared a graphic to highlight where we are with meeting our demands for the protection of Human Rights.
We have achieved significant improvements, but unfortunately there are still many provisions that do not meet our requests. You can read more on the relevant here.

Homo Digitalis participates in LSE meeting in Ljubljana
On Friday 20 October, Homo Digitalis was invited by the JET Table of The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) to an important workshop that took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia!
There we presented our actions against the use of intrusive new AI technologies in the field of policing and border management in Greece over the last 5 years, and informed the civil society organisations attending about the important tools provided by data protection legislation in this regard.
The audience showed their keen interest and admiration for what we have achieved completely voluntarily in the past, but also did not hide their concern about the long delays in decision-making by the Hellenic Data Protection Authority.
Homo Digitalis was represented at the workshop by our Board Secretary, Eleftherios Chelioudakis.
Speech of Homo Digitalis at the presentation of the book "Journeys to the Future 2" by journalist Yiannis Mouratidis at the Hellenic Museum of Informatics
Yesterday, we had the great pleasure of attending the presentation of the book “Journeys to the Future 2” by journalist Yannis Mouratidis at the Hellenic Museum of Informatics.
An excellent evening, in which Lambrini Gyftokosta, Director of Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights at Homo Digitalis, gave a speech on the protection of personal data in the digital age.
We would like to thank the journalist and member of Homo Digitalis, Yannis Mouratidis, for the invitation and the Hellenic Museum of Informatics for the hospitality.
As Yiannis writes, “Seven years after the publication of the first book Journeys to the Future, my interest in science remains alive, but my enthusiasm for anything new has given way to a more cautious outlook. Both science and its child technology have benefited society as a whole, but not all members of society equally. The Unknowns Those who control everything, I believe, are all of us who imagine that we are being pulled by invisible strings. The texts in the book were written to make the threads more visible and our dependence on them more conscious.”
The book will be available in a few bookstores, it is already in Zatopek in Kallithea.

Homo Digitalis in Brussels to speak at two important events
Homo Digitalis made a lightning trip to Brussels this week!
There we attended the annual plenary meeting of the Justice, Equity & Technology (JET) Table at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), which we have been members of for more than 2.5 years now, studying the implications of using technologies to defend specific social groups based on class and race.
We also successfully participated for another year in FreedomNotFear, where we had the great pleasure to organise a talk regarding the use of intrusive technologies in the field of border protection and our related legal actions for 2019-2023.
For Homo Digitalis, our Board Secretary, Eleftherios Chelioudakis, travelled from Greece to Brussels
