Australians would gain greater control of their personal information, including the ability to opt out of targeted ads, erase their data and sue for serious breaches of privacy, under a proposal to the Albanese government.

On Thursday the attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, will release a review conducted by his department into modernisation of the Privacy Act which calls to expand its remit to small businesses and add new safeguards for use of data by political parties.

Concludes that the EU-US Data Privacy Framework fails to create actual equivalence in the level of protection; calls on the Commission to continue negotiations with its US counterparts with the aim of creating a mechanism that would ensure such equivalence and which would provide the adequate level of protection required by Union data protection law and the Charter as interpreted by the CJEU; urges the Commission not to adopt the adequacy finding;

https://cointelegraph.com/news/european-union-discusses-using-zero-knowledge-proofs-for-digital-ids
The European Union is famous for its ambivalent relationship with privacy — on the one hand, it was the first place in the world to apply strict data protection regulations. On the other, its central bank digital currency (CBDC) project lacks the anonymity standards of private cryptocurrencies.

Nevertheless, last week the EU lawmakers made a vital step to embrace privacy in the space of citizens’ digital identities. On Feb. 9, the Industry, Research and Energy Committee included the standard of zero-knowledge proofs in its amendments to the European digital identity framework (eID). The latest update was voted in by 55 votes to 8 in the Committee — the draft will now proceed to the Trilogue phase of negotiations.

SINGAPORE: The viral artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT is finding its way into more homes and offices across the world.

With the ability to answer questions and pump out content within seconds, this generation of chatbots can help users search, explain, write, and create just about anything.

However, experts warn that the increasing use of such AI-powered technology comes with risks, and could facilitate the work of scammers and cybercrime syndicates.

Cybersecurity professionals are calling for regulatory frameworks and user vigilance to prevent individuals from falling victim.

GENERAL MOBILISATION AGAINST THE LEGALISATION OF ALGORITHMIC VIDEO SURVEILLANCE!

During the end of year holidays, and without fanfare, the government prepared the introduction of a new legislation regarding the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic games. As expected, this draft law pave the way for the generalization of algorithmic video surveillance. While using the fallacious argument of time limited experiment, such technologies are already illegally used in many cities in the country with total impunity. Using the forthcoming sport competitions as justification, the government and many representatives call themselves advocates of the French industry and use this position to allow thos companies to durably expand on the video surveillance market.

#AI Act: The co-rapporteurs' ambition to reach an agreement on crucial parts at yesterday's shadow meeting was frustrated, with lawmakers still far from a common position on AI definition, prohibited practices and high-risk classification. A new timeline is now in order.

German Constitutional Court strikes down predictive algorithms for policing

The German Federal Constitutional Court declared the use of Palantir surveillance software by police in Hesse and Hamburg unconstitutional in a landmark ruling on Thursday (16 February).

The ruling concludes a case brought by the German Society for Civil Rights (GFF) last year, hearings for which began in December. The plaintiffs argued that the software could be used for predictive policing, raising the risk of mistakes and discrimination by law enforcement.

The German state of Hesse has been using the software since 2017, though it is not yet in place in Hamburg. The technology is provided by Palantir, a US data analytics firm which received early backing from intelligence agencies, including the CIA, FBI and NSA.
