EDRi
EDRi’s mission is to promote, protect and uphold civil and human rights in the digital age.
Huge impact
The EDRi network is a collective of NGOs, experts, advocates and academics working to defend and advance digital rights across the continent. Claire Fernandez, Executive Director of EDRi: “Technological developments like AI and algorithms have a huge impact on our economy, society, democracy and on the planet – and not always in a good way. Consider even just the way an algorithm incorrectly classified thousands of people in the Netherlands as childcare allowance fraudsters. And it’s hard to get justice when your opponent is an algorithm”.”
Join forces
“Following the 2024 European elections, trade interests threaten to take priority over protecting citizens. I hope that society will provide a counterbalance to this. An example of this was the very first European Tech and Society Summit. At this summit, we joined forces with forty civil society organizations to work towards just, safe and sustainable use of technology.”
