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... -
Ethical Value Centric Cybersecurity. A Methodology Based on a Value Graph
Our society is being shaped in a non-negligible way by the technological advances of recent years, especially in information and communications technologies (ICTs). The... -
Privacy in the clouds
Informational self-determination refers to the right or ability of individuals to exercise personal control over the collection, use and disclosure of their personal data by... -
Big Data Ethics
The speed of development in Big Data and associated phenomena, such as social media, has surpassed the capacity of the average consumer to understand his or her actions and... -
Fairness and Abstraction in Sociotechnical Systems
A key goal of the fair-ML community is to develop machine-learning based systems that, once introduced into a social context, can achieve social and legal outcomes such as... -
Designing for human rights in AI
In the age of Big Data, companies and governments are increasingly using algorithms to inform hiring decisions, employee management, policing, credit scoring, insurance... -
Democratizing Algorithmic Fairness
Machine learning algorithms can now identify patterns and correlations in (big) datasets and predict outcomes based on the identified patterns and correlations. They can then... -
Measuring discrimination in algorithmic decision making
Society is increasingly relying on data-driven predictive models for automated decision making. This is not by design, but due to the nature and noisiness of observational... -
Recommender systems and their ethical challenges
This article presents the first, systematic analysis of the ethical challenges posed by recommender systems through a literature review. The article identifies six areas of... -
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... -
Multi layered Explanations from Algorithmic Impact Assessments in the GDPR
Impact assessments have received particular attention on both sides of the Atlantic as a tool for implementing algorithmic accountability. The aim of this paper is to address... -
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... -
Explanation of Deep Models with Limited Interaction for Trade Secret and Priv...
An ever-increasing number of decisions affecting our lives are made by algorithms. For this reason, algorithmic transparency is becoming a pressing need: automated decisions... -
Explanation in artificial intelligence. Insights from the social sciences
There has been a recent resurgence in the area of explainable artificial intelligence as researchers and practitioners seek to provide more transparency to their algorithms.... -
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... -
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... -
Machine Learning Explainability Through Comprehensible Decision Trees
The role of decisions made by machine learning algorithms in our lives is ever increasing. In reaction to this phenomenon, the European General Data Protection Regulation... -
Algorithmic Decision Making Based on Machine Learning from Big Data
Decision-making assisted by algorithms developed by machine learning is increasingly determining our lives. Unfortunately, full opacity about the process is the norm. Would... -
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...
