@acds_clsa - Is reform of oversight structure necessary or sufficient to improve policing? Comparative, scholarly and experience-based. @kwonjh @CrimSL_TO @AlokMukherjee45 @LaurierFLA

@AlokMukherjee45 and #CrimSL's Jihyun Kwon (@_kwonjh) discuss the municipal policing responsibilities that arise from federal mandates as the inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergency Act continues. Read more in the newest @imfgtoronto report.

Issues re #EU Artificial Intelligence Act: may still fall far short of the goal of (1) fostering broadly “trustworthy” and “human-centric” AI, (2) protecting fundamental rights from AI-fuelled harms like scaled #discrimination and #blackbox bias. - #AI #oversight

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

Since 2017, at least 60 countries have adopted some form of #artificialintelligence #policy, a torrent of activity that nearly matches the pace of modern #AI adoption. The expansion of AI #governance raises concerns abt looming challenges for int'l cooperation -Engler 2022

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

#AI #oversight - currently, most regulators rely on standard #anti-discrimination legislation. But that's only workable when there are people who can be held responsible for problematic decisions. #accountability https://t.co/SUnLBgRk3k

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

#AI #oversight challenges: Could code some concept of fairness, requiring that all outcomes meet certain conditions. But there is no agreed-upon def. of fairness. Impossible to be categorical abt the general conditions that determine equitable outcomes https://t.co/SUnLBgRk3k

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

Issues re use of #AI : AI increases the potential scale of bias. Any flaw could affect millions of people, exposing companies to class-action lawsuits.

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

Using #AI could increase human decision-makers’ accountability, which might make people likely to defer to the #algorithms more often than they should.

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

The #EU is leading the way to develop #AI #governance framework. See its 2020 white paper “On Artificial Intelligence—A European Approach to Excellence and Trust” and its 2021 proposal for an AI legal framework. #legal #framework

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

One way to oversee the use of #AI : Routine auditing (e.g., queried with hypothetical cases) by outside experts. This is both good practice & may soon be a requirement. See New York City AI audit bill & the federal proposed #Algorithmic Accountability Act. #legislative landscape

[Jihyun Kwon @_kwonjh]

#AI #oversight #frameworks : There are an increasing number of frameworks to guide efforts to identify and reduce harms from AI systems (e.g. BSA Framework, GAO Risk Framework, NIST’s forthcoming AI Risk Management Framework, EqualAI Framework).

#AI in #finance: Risks of employing AI models built on historical data = can “amplify rather than ameliorate racial gaps in access to credit” & “result in discrimination by race, or even lead to digital redlining, if not intentionally designed to address this risk" USGov Brainard
