  There a Role For Harmonised Standards?\nDate: 26 May 2023\nTime: 08:45 CE

 E)\n\nThe development of a “human-centered” AI tends to overlook a compone
 nt of AI development: data production. Machine learning data sets are used
  to develop and train algorithms. The resulting algorithms are then used f
 or content moderation\, facial recognition\, or to train self-driving cars
 \, etc. The amount of data needed for this\, has to be sorted\, cleaned\, 
 annotated\, labelled. These tasks are far from automated: they are outsour
 ced to manual labor in countries where wages and working conditions are lo
 w. From a data justice perspective\, is this reality considered when think
 ing about regulating AI? Issues related to the exploitation of labour\, so
 cial justice and power remain unaddressed. In the EU\, the 8 legal require
 ments in the draft AI Act will be operationalized through harmonized stand
 ards. We will reflect about the ability of standardization committees to a
 ddress the issue of data justice.\n\nIn the debate about how best to regul
 ate AI\, is there space for a “social and data justice” perspective?\nShou
 ld the draft AI Act address this issue? In what way?\nIs there a possibili
 ty in the standardization committees to address theissue of data justice f
 or data workers?\nShould standardization bodies be “revisited” in their me
 mbership\, mandate and production process in order to address this issue?
