"Open Business sets a new bar for disclosures in anti-corruption and governance and provides an aspirational but achievable roadmap to better corporate practice.
By demonstrating the value of harnessing transparency in these areas, this report shows how companies can embrace transparency to reduce corruption risk while also building consumer and public trust, protecting and building their reputation and gaining a competitive advantage.
Informed by extensive research including in-depth interviews with legal and compliance figures from FTSE 100 companies, insight from some of the world's biggest institutional investors, and Transparency International's own anti-corruption expertise, this groundbreaking research:
Sets out the business case for greater corporate transparency
Fills the current 'guidance gap' by providing companies consolidated guidance on how to disclose policies and procedures publicly
Offers solutions to the most frequently cited legal challenges to greater disclosures"
"The Open Artificial Pancreas System project (#OpenAPS) is an open and transparent effort to make safe and effective basic Artificial Pancreas System (APS) technology widely available to more quickly improve and save as many lives as possible and reduce the burden of Type 1 diabetes.
OpenAPS means basic overnight closed loop APS technology is more widely available to anyone with compatible medical devices who is willing to build their own system.
We believe that we can make safe and effective APS technology available more quickly, to more people, rather than just waiting for current APS efforts to complete clinical trials and be FDA-approved and commercialized through traditional processes. And in the process, we believe we can engage the untapped potential of dozens or possibly hundreds of patient innovators and independent researchers and also make APS technology available to hundreds or thousands of people willing to participate as subjects in clinical trials."
"In the last decade Open Science principles, such as Open Access, study preregistration, use of preprints, making available data and code, and open peer review, have been successfully advocated for and are being slowly adopted in many different research communities. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic many publishers and researchers have sped up their adoption of some of these Open Science practices, sometimes embracing them fully and sometimes partially or in a sub-optimal manner. In this article, we express concerns about the violation of some of the Open Science principles and its potential impact on the quality of research output. We provide evidence of the misuses of these principles at different stages of the scientific process. We call for a wider adoption of Open Science practices in the hope that this work will encourage a broader endorsement of Open Science principles and serve as a reminder that science should always be a rigorous process, reliable and transparent, especially in the context of a pandemic where research findings are being translated into practice even more rapidly"
"Open Ethics for AI is like Creative Commons for the content. We aim to build trust between machines and humans by helping machines to explain themselves. We're developing an open transparency protocol to help product-owners describe their AI-powered solutions in a standardized, user-friendly, and explicit way. Open Ethics is a global inclusive initiative with the mission to engage citizens, legislators, engineers, and subject-matter experts into a transparent design and deployment of solutions backed by artificial intelligence to make a positive societal impact."

"Un jour, au bureau, il/elle tombe sur des documents qui révèlent un conflit d'intérêts, un mensonge d'État, une arnaque financière… Et tout bascule : sa propre vie et le cours de l'Histoire. Ainsi commence l'aventure d'un whistleblower (lanceur d'alerte)."
"Web 1, 2, 3... Chaque niveau semble éloigner l'utilisateur des contingences matérielles et techniques, apporter de la transparence dans les échanges, et ouvrir sur de nouvelles fonctionnalités. Et comme la fonction crée l'organe, cela change en profondeur l'ensemble de la société."

"Trackers are hiding in nearly every corner of today's Internet, which is to say nearly every corner of modern life. The average web page shares data with dozens of third-parties. The average mobile app does the same, and many apps collect highly sensitive information like location and call records even when they're not in use. Tracking also reaches into the physical world. Shopping centers use automatic license-plate readers to track traffic through their parking lots, then share that data with law enforcement. Businesses, concert organizers, and political campaigns use Bluetooth and WiFi beacons to perform passive monitoring of people in their area. Retail stores use face recognition to identify customers, screen for theft, and deliver targeted ads."

Manifeste avec 10 points-clés : services, responsabilisation, standards...
Nous exigeons que les organisations assument, indépendamment de leur forme juridique et de leurs sources financières, la responsabilité de leurs produits, services et processus numériques. Ceux-ci doivent avant tout répondre aux besoins des individus et ne pas exploiter leurs faiblesses psychologiques, sociales ou économiques. L'utilisation d'algorithmes et le traitement des données doivent être transparents et conformes aux principes de l'État de droit.
