LNB NEWS: Civil society groups call for government to reconsider AI policy

The Public Law Project has reported that 30 civil society groups have written to the government in order to request that the government’s use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is brought under control. 

Lexis®Library update: The groups have urged the government to reconsider its approach, outlined in the governmental white paper on AI regulation, as it does not protect individuals from the risk of unfairness or discrimination when automation is used.

The groups have called for authorities to guarantee transparency about what AI systems they use, ensure that there is always a human who is accountable for decisions reached using AI, introduce an effective redress mechanism when AI systems make unlawful or unfair decisions and prohibit the use of AI that has the potential to threaten people’s fundamental rights.

The joint statement made by the groups is accessible here.
