Listen to our podcast In the podcast "Artificial intelligence in the workplace" we talk to four different experts among them the lawyers Ida Flaatten and Maria Østli about how artificial intelligence works, how it affects how we live and work and not least how to adopt new technology in an ethical and legal manner. In the first episode of three, we ask the experts the question: Why should you care about artificial intelligence? You can also listen to the episodes on Spotify, the podcast player on your phone, or wherever you find your podcasts.
Direct and indirect discrimination To be on safe legal ground, employers must also ensure that they and their employees have sufficient competence in these systems and the use of these systems. Otherwise, one can risk, among other things, discrimination and bias in the results. Here we are UK Phone Number List probably a bit naive. Many of the systems we use, for example, were developed in the USA, which has completely different legislation, especially when it comes to privacy. These are systems that are based on algorithms without the businesses necessarily being aware of how they work, says Flaatten.
Transparency and involvement are therefore important in order to counteract unfortunate and potentially illegal consequences (such as breaches of the Working Environment Act) that the use of AI can entail. Such consequences can arise, among other things, as a result of machine learning algorithms not being able to add information beyond what is already in the data. If there are errors or omissions in the data, you will also get a problematic result. In addition, one must have control over the actual instructions in the algorithms. When you discuss discrimination, you tend to think of conscious discrimination, but discrimination is often unconscious. When it comes to KI, there are several examples of the decision being discriminatory without it being intentional, says Østli.
