How the Law Can Tame Artificial Intelligence

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

AI systems are embedded in nearly every facet of modern life, including social media and music apps.

But lurking behind this convenient facade is a growing concern: algorithmic harms.

These harms arenât obvious or immediate, building over time as AI systems quietly make decisions about your life without you even knowing it.

The hidden power of these systems is becoming a threat to privacy, equality, autonomy and safety.

Categorizing the types of algorithmic harms delineates the legal boundaries of AI regulation.

Changes I believe would help include mandatory algorithmic impact assessments that require companies to document and address the immediate and cumulative harms of an AI application to privacy, autonomy, equality and safety.

Without intervention, these invisible harms are likely to continue to accumulate.
