Since the Google Spain judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union, Europeans have, under certain conditions, the right to have search results for their name delisted. This paper examines how the Google Spain judgment has been…
In the YS. and M. and S. judgment, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on three procedures in which Dutch judges asked for clarification on the right of asylum seekers to have access to the documents regarding the decision on…
This paper discusses the regulation of mass metadata surveillance in Europe through the lens of the landmark judgment in which the Court of Justice of the European Union struck down the Data Retention Directive. The controversial directive…
Fairness in artificial intelligence (AI) has become a growing concern due to discriminatory outcomes in AI-based decision-making systems. While various methods have been proposed to mitigate bias, most rely on complete demographic…
As artificial intelligence systems become increasingly powerful and pervasive, democratic societies face unprecedented challenges in governing these technologies while preserving core democratic values and institutions. This paper presents…
Personal communication using technical means is protected by telecommunications secrecy. Any interference with this fundamental right requires a legal basis, which has existed for many years for traditional communication services in the…
AI has redefined the boundaries of assistance in education, often blurring the line between guided learning and dependency. This paper revisits Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) through the lens of the P2P Teaching framework. By…
Artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) are rapidly becoming the engines of modern science. However, their joint effect on discovery has yet to be quantified at scale. Drawing on metadata from over five million…
This study explores the relationship between cultural awareness, stereotypes, and communication skills among Algerian participants working or studying in multicultural environments. A quantitative questionnaire was administered to 40…
Blended learning has become a dominant educational model in higher education in the UK and worldwide, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. This is further enriched with accompanying pedagogical changes, such as strengthened…
The rapid emergence of Generative AI, particularly ChatGPT, has sparked a global debate on the future of education, often characterized by alarmism and speculation. Moving beyond this, this study investigates the structured, grounded…
Predictive models for student dropout, while often accurate, frequently rely on opportunistic feature sets and suffer from undocumented data leakage, limiting their explanatory power and institutional usefulness. This paper introduces a…
Large language models are increasingly being used in critical domains of politics, business, and education, but the nature of their normative ethical judgment remains opaque. Alignment research has, to date, not sufficiently utilized…
Disinfection byproducts are contaminants that can cause long-term effects on human health, occurring in chlorinated drinking water when the disinfectant interacts with natural organic matter. Their formation is affected by many…
We transitioned our post-CS1 course that introduces various subfields of computer science so that it integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) in a structured, critical, and practical manner. It aims to help students develop the skills needed…
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have dramatically improved performance on a wide range of tasks, driving rapid enterprise adoption. Yet, the cost of adopting these AI services is understudied. Unlike traditional software…
Research on how the popularization of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools impacts learning environments has led to hesitancy among educators to teach these tools in classrooms, creating two observed disconnects. Generative AI…
The fragmentation of public data in Brazil, coupled with inconsistent standards and limited interoperability, hinders effective research, evidence-based policymaking and access to data-driven insights. To address these issues, we introduce…
Tax work is costly for society: Administrative tax labour is typically to a high degree shuffled off the government and onto every taxpayer by law. The higher the burden of any tax system, the costlier for society, as taxpayers are unable…
Viewing social apps as sociotechnical systems makes clear that they are not mere pieces of technology but mediate human interaction and may unintentionally enable harmful behaviors like online harassment. As more users interact through…
