Post hoc interventions and the General Data Protection Regulation

- Post hoc interventions rely on having access to certain personal data - such as the gender, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation of the persons being evaluated - in order to detect and correct for prejudice.

In particular, we investigate the legality of applying GIIU to datasets which haven't been collected with consent from the data subjects that their data is to be processed by GIIU. We conclude that many such... (More)
