Analisi scientificamente approfondita della parte del GDPR che collega il tema del decision-making con il diritto alla spiegazione.
Dall’abstract:
We summarize the potential impact that the European Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation will have on the routine use of machine learning algorithms. Slated to take effect as law across the EU in 2018, it will restrict automated individual decision-making (that is, algorithms that make decisions based on userlevel predictors) which “significantly affect” users. The law will also effectively create a “right to explanation,” whereby a user can ask for an explanation of an algorithmic decision that was made about them. We argue tha while this law will pose large challenges for industry, it highlights opportunities for computer scientists to tak the lead in designing algorithms and evaluation frameworks which avoid discrimination and enable explanation.
