Grounds for Trust. Essential Epistemic Opacity and Computational Reliabilism
Several philosophical issues in connection with computer simulations rely on the assumption that results of simulations are trustworthy. Examples of these include the debate... -
How the machine thinks. Understanding opacity in machine learning algorithms
This article considers the issue of opacity as a problem for socially consequential mechanisms of classification and ranking, such as spam filters, credit card fraud... -
Machine Learning Explainability Via Microaggregation and Shallow Decision Trees
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being deployed in missions that are increasingly critical for human life. To build trust in AI and avoid an algorithm-based authoritarian... -
Seeing without knowing. Limitations of transparency and its application to al...
Models for understanding and holding systems accountable have long rested upon ideals and logics of transparency. Being able to see a system is sometimes equated with being able... -
Solving the Black Box Problem. A Normative Framework for Explainable Artifici...
Many of the computing systems programmed using Machine Learning are opaque: it is difficult to know why they do what they do or how they work. Explainable Artificial... -
Toward Accountable Discrimination Aware Data Mining
"Big Data" and data-mined inferences are affecting more and more of our lives, and concerns about their possible discriminatory effects are growing. Methods for... -
Fair Prediction with Disparate Impact A Study of Bias in Recidivism Predictio...
Recidivism prediction instruments (RPIs) provide decision-makers with an assessment of the likelihood that a criminal defendant will reoffend at a future point in time.... -
Algorithmic Decision Making Based on ML from Big Data. Can Transparency Resto...
Decision-making assisted by algorithms developed by machine learning is increasingly determining our lives. Unfortunately, full opacity about the process is the norm. Would... -
Bias in algorithmic filtering and personalization
Online information intermediaries such as Facebook and Google are slowly replacing traditional media channels thereby partly becoming the gatekeepers of our society. To deal... -
Accountability for the Use of Algorithms in a Big Data Environment
Accountability is the ability to provide good reasons in order to explain and to justify actions, decisions, and policies for a (hypothetical) forum of persons or... -
Algorithmic Accountability and Public Reason
The ever-increasing application of algorithms to decision-making in a range of social contexts has prompted demands for algorithmic accountability. Accountable decision-makers... -
A Survey of Methods for Explaining Black Box Models
In recent years, many accurate decision support systems have been constructed as black boxes, that is as systems that hide their internal logic to the user. This lack of... -
AI and Big Data A blueprint for a human rights and social and ethical impact ...
Building on studies of the collective dimension of data protection, this article sets out to embed this new perspective in an assessment model centred on human rights (Human... -
European Data Governance Act
The proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on data governance is the first of a set of measures announced in the 2020 European strategy for...-

Challenging algorithmic profiling
The limits of data protection and anti-discrimination in responding to emergent discrimination The potential for biases being built into algorithms has been known for some time... -
Social Justice and Equality and Primary Care How Can Big Data Help
A growing body of research emphasises the role of ‘social determinants of health’ in generating inequalities in health outcomes. How, if at all, should primary care providers... -
Will big data algorithms dismantle the foundations of liberalism
In Homo Deus, Yuval Noah Harari argues that technological advances of the twenty-first century will usher in a significant shift in how humans make important life decisions.... -
The Trouble with Algorithmic Decisions
An Analytic Road Map to Examine Efficiency and Fairness in Automated and Opaque Decision Making We are currently witnessing a sharp rise in the use of algorithmic... -
The fundamental rights challenges of algorithms
Algorithms form an increasingly important part of our daily lives, even if we are often unaware of it. They are enormously useful in many different ways. They facilitate the...
