Janne Petroons asks how coders, local welfare organisations and frontline workers together determine what constitutes 'need'. When need assessment increasingly becomes digitised, the role of coders needs to be clarified. Fascinating talk featuring haircuts, blazers and condoms. #ESPAnet2026

We are proud to launch the Booklet of our Symposium on #AI and #Democracy! This publication gathers all the original Symposium contributions, as well as the editors’ reflection on the implications AI poses for democracy. You can access the Booklet here: www.law.kuleuven.be/ai-summer-sc...

Algorithmic decision-making (#ADM) in #government is often promoted as a harmonising policy tool. In a new post, @jannepetroons.bsky.social challenges this instrumentalist view & argues for a socio-constructivist lens that recognises ADM's social dimensions. 🔗 www.law.kuleuven.be/ai-summer-sc...

It's out! Together with Périne Brotcorne, Martin Wagener, @koenhermans.bsky.social and @wvlancker.bsky.social, I wrote an article on the expected harmonizing effects of algorithmic decision-making in welfare practices. You can read it here: www.cogitatiopress.com/socialinclus...
