[Air-L] NEW VIDEO: How is AI helping advertisers skirt around EU law?

[Dr. Emma Briant]

Dear friends and colleagues,

Those interested in privacy/surveillance and targeted advertising may find
this of interest....

I was honored to again address the European Parliament on Tuesday 3rd June,
this time at the invitation of the Special committee on the European
Democracy Shield, my talk was on 'Regulation of Political Advertising in
the EU... or How to Avoid It?' and you can watch the video now here.

(My contribution starts: 16:34:00 - panel begins 16:24:00). I talked about
how ChatGPT is suggesting ways for advertisers to skirt around legal
protections & target advertising on the basis of anxiety and other
GDPR-protected categories in Europe. I again urged policymakers to close
this loophole and properly enforce existing legislation, and regulate the
influence industry.

The panel also included excellent contributions from other distinguished
colleagues:
Arielle Garcia (Check My Ads)
Alberto Fernandez Gibaja (International IDEA)

The follow-up Q&A is also of interest. I hope you find this an interesting
discussion and that it might be helpful in your teaching.

Best wishes,
Emma
