Bridging the Gap Between EU Non-Discrimination Law and AI
Why Fairness Cannot Be Automated: Bridging the Gap Between EU Non-Discrimination Law and AI Fairness and discrimination in algorithmic systems is globally recognised as a topic of critical importance. To date, a majority of work has started from an American regulatory perspective defined by the notions of ‘disparate treatment’ and ‘disparate impact’. European legal notions of ...

Ethics and algorithmic processes for decision making and decision support
... ethical and legal criteria are not suitable (or, at least, are inadequate) when considering algorithms generally. They lead to a conceptual blurring with regard to issues such as privacy and discrimination, when information that could potentially be misused to discriminate illegitimately is declared private. Our aim in the present article is, first, to bring a measure of clarity to the debate so ...
