This newsletter presents the EDPS’ main activities of the last 30 days: look back on the topical debates of our Summit, join us for a Techdispatch on neurodata, read up on our Opinion on sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, and more.
The new TechDispatch will delve into the processing of Neurodata within a constantly evolving market of services. In recent years, there is a worrying trend towards a technically possible, though ethically and legally questionable use of some neurotechnologies.

The EDPS and the University of Karlstad are hosting an Internet Privacy Engineering Network (IPEN) event on "Human supervision of automated decisions" on 3 September 2024.
Physical Attendance: Eva Eriksson lecture hall, Universitetsgatan 2, 651 88 Karlstad, Sweden (registration required, link available soon)
Online Participation: Connection link will be provided before the event
Topic: Human oversight of automated decision-making
Overview:
EU regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) mandate human oversight in automated decision-making processes to ensure fairness and accountability.
GDPR Article 22: Grants individuals the right to avoid decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affects them.
AIA Article 14(2): Requires human oversight of high-risk AI systems to protect health, safety, and fundamental rights.
AIA Recital 73: Stresses the importance of identifying appropriate human oversight measures before AI systems are marketed or put into service.
Additionally, the 2019 Ethics guidelines for trustworthy AI advocate for "Human agency and oversight" as one of the seven ethical principles to ensure AI is trustworthy and ethically sound.
