• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Transparency regarding the processing of personal data in online services is a necessary precondition for informed decisions on whether or not to share personal data. In this paper, we argue that privacy interfaces shall incorporate the context of display, personal preferences, and individual competences of data subjects following the principles of universal design and usable privacy. Doing so requires -- among others -- to consciously decouple the provision of transparency information from their ultimate presentation. To this end, we provide a general model of how transparency information can be provided from a data controller to data subjects, effectively leveraging machine-readable transparency information and facilitating versatile presentation interfaces. We contribute two actual implementations of said model: 1) a GDPR-aligned privacy dashboard and 2) a chatbot and virtual voice assistant enabled by conversational AI. We evaluate our model and implementations with a user study and find that these approaches provide effective and time-efficient transparency. Consequently, we illustrate how transparency can be enhanced using machine-readable transparency information and how data controllers can meet respective regulatory obligations.

  Collaborative inference among multiple wireless edge devices has the potential to significantly enhance Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. transmitting extracted features poses a significant privacy risk, as sensitive personal data can be exposed during the process. We propose a novel privacy-preserving collaborative inference mechanism, wherein each edge device in the network secures the privacy of extracted features before transmitting them to a central server for inference.

  In this paper, we propose a novel face privacy protection method based on diffusion models, dubbed Diff-Privacy. Specifically, we train our proposed multi-scale image inversion module (MSI) to obtain a set of SDM format conditional embeddings of the original image. Based on the conditional embeddings, we design corresponding embedding scheduling strategies and construct different energy functions during the denoising process to achieve anonymization and visual identity information hiding.

• A design theory for transparency of information privacy practices [0.0]
  The rising diffusion of information systems poses an increasingly serious threat to privacy as a social value. One approach to alleviating this threat is to establish transparency of information privacy practices (TIPP) so that consumers can better understand how their information is processed. We develop a theoretical foundation (TIPP theory) for transparency artifact designs useful for establishing TIPP from the perspective of privacy as a social value.

  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.
