Bias, Machine Learning and Liability—Can EU Policy Improve the Development of AI Systems?
摘要
This chapter examines the policy and regulatory challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) from the perspective of the typical lifecycle of an AI-powered product, taking into account previous incidents of AI bias. It explores how the legal consequences of AI bias can be controlled in the case of both explainable and non-explainable algorithms. In this regard, the chapter analyses developments in EU policy, in particular those that aim to create a comprehensive policy response suitable for an ‘algorithmic society’. It highlights that European policy-making faces difficult choices as on the one hand it needs to create sufficient controls for AI-risks, while on the other it needs to guarantee the competitiveness of European industry and societies.
