European Council Rule of Law Report 2022 and Rule of Law Situation in Ireland: Engagement with Ms Vra Jourová
Ms Vra Jourov?:
That is it. We need to know from outside how the algorithm works. It is easy to say and easy to do. The Deputy's colleague spoke about the enforcement of GDPR. We will have a similarly difficult task here because we will need well-qualified people in each member state who are able to go into the system and understand what is going on there. I cannot imagine how to do that, but that is why we introduced the legally binding rules that oblige the digital systems to disclose the algorithms and let the enforcers understand whether they go against the rules or are Digital Services Act-compliant. There will be a big demand for skilled people.
