• Title: TILT: A GDPR-Aligned Transparency Information Language and Toolkit for Practical Privacy Engineering
• Authors: Elias Gr\"unewald and Frank Pallas
• Abstract summary: TILT is a transparency information language and toolkit designed to represent and process transparency information. We provide a detailed analysis of transparency obligations to identify the required for a formal transparency language. On this basis, we specify our formal language and present a respective, fully implemented toolkit.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present TILT, a transparency information language and toolkit explicitly designed to represent and process transparency information in line with the requirements of the GDPR and allowing for a more automated and adaptive use of such information than established, legalese data protection policies do. We provide a detailed analysis of transparency obligations from the GDPR to identify the expressiveness required for a formal transparency language intended to meet respective legal requirements. In addition, we identify a set of further, non-functional requirements that need to be met to foster practical adoption in real-world (web) information systems engineering. On this basis, we specify our formal language and present a respective, fully implemented toolkit around it. We then evaluate the practical applicability of our language and toolkit and demonstrate the additional prospects it unlocks through two different use cases: a) the inter-organizational analysis of personal data-related practices allowing, for instance, to uncover data sharing networks based on explicitly announced transparency information and b) the presentation of formally represented transparency information to users through novel, more comprehensible, and potentially adaptive user interfaces, heightening data subjects' actual informedness about data-related practices and, thus, their sovereignty. Altogether, our transparency information language and toolkit allow - differently from previous work - to express transparency information in line with actual legal requirements and practices of modern (web) information systems engineering and thereby pave the way for a multitude of novel possibilities to heighten transparency and user sovereignty in practice.

  Embodied AI agents require a fine-grained understanding of the physical world mediated through visual and language inputs. We consider pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models, which are explicitly optimized to generate images from text prompts. We show that Stable Control Representations enable learning policies that exhibit state-of-the-art performance on OVMM, a difficult open-vocabulary navigation benchmark.

• Users are the North Star for AI Transparency [111.5679109784322]
  Despite widespread calls for transparent artificial intelligence systems, the term is too overburdened with disparate meanings to express precise policy aims or to orient concrete lines of research. Part of why this happens is that a clear ideal of AI transparency goes unsaid in this body of work. We explicitly name such a north star -- transparency that is user-centered, user-appropriate, and honest.

  We argue that privacy shall incorporate the context of display, personal preferences, and individual competences of data subjects. We provide a general model of how transparency information can be provided from a data controller to data subjects. We show how transparency can be enhanced using machine-readable transparency information and how data controllers can meet respective regulatory obligations.
