Current algorithms do push us to the limit of trade-offs. However, ideas such as differential privacy can help up in navigating some of those trade-offs - @RahulAPanicker, @WadhwaniAI#DataPoliciesandAI#NAMA
If you want to find the average compensation in a company. One way is to give the sum total and that doesn't allow to identify an individual. Federated learning is another example where your data stays with you, raw data doesn't go into the cloud - @RahulAPanicker, @WadhwaniAI

THREAD: The strange situation of India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) looking to regulate content on online streaming services like Netflix, Hotstar, Amazon Prime Video, Sony LIV etc. We've been tracking this since early 2018.
1. In an unexpected move (it has been rumoured for over a year), amendments in the allocation of business rules have given MIB jurisdiction over regulation of online streaming services. medianama.com/2020/11/223-ib…

2. Why is this strange? Firstly, bec streaming services are not like cable TV. It's not broadcast. When you choose a show/video, you pull content. It is private viewing. What separates a streaming service like Hotstar from Porn? The content, of course, but nothing structurally

The CCI investigation will look into 4 aspects of dominance by Google: 1. Exclusivity Regarding Mode of Payment for Purchase of Apps and In-App
Purchases (IAPS).
This is a major issue, because the Google Play store is imposing Google's payment gateway on apps, and then
2/
taking a 30% commission from all apps. This was the issue that got Indian founders to push back against Google earlier last month. the allegation that the CCI cites is a "take it or leave it" condition for all app developers.
#Thread: The Indian government on Aug 27 released a data management policy for National Digital Health Mission. The policy is a framework for how data with the mission, by hospitals, health companies, startups, etc, will be governed. #DigitalHealth 1/n medianama.com/2020/08/223-na…
The government has given only ONE WEEK for the public to respond to and give their inputs on the policy. It’s a blatant deadline and goes against the spirit of consultative policy making. 2/n medianama.com/2020/08/223-na…
A week is not enough for civil society to respond to concerns, or for businesses to weigh cost-benefit. In fact, it violates the govt’s own Pre-Legislative Consultative Policy, which requires a 30-day consultation period for policies released by govt ministries/departments: 3/n
We will be live-tweeting the roundtable on Algorithmic Accountability in India, hosted by Divij Joshi @divijualsuspect. You can also tune into the livestream on our YouTube channel:
.@divijualsuspect said today's discussion is on what algorithms imply for our lives and for our democracy.
Implementation and use of AI varies across states. Second, the private sector is involved in all govt projects around AI. For instance, Punjab's AI system is being developed by a Gurgaon firm.
