Auditing Algorithms As Way To Prevent Algorithmic Bias

Policy Brief Cecilia Danesi, Mario Torres Jarrín

We have no doubt that artificial intelligence became an essential part of the development of modern societies. There are many areas, crucial for everyday life, which could no longer function without algorithms. However, artificial intelligence has a main danger which could be sum up in one term: “algorithmic bias”. This means that our prejudices are transferred to Al systems and the result is the amplification and consolidation of social gaps. That is the direct violation ofHuman Rights and the constant distance from the SDGs. For that reason, G20 Governments must construct a coercive ethical framework for Al This Ethics governance ofAl (EGAI) should include different main backbones, such as 1) create an interdisciplinary expert committee, 2) design an Al strategic plan, 3) establish the mandatory supervision of high-risk algorithms, 4) elaborate studies that identify disruptive technologies and indicates their impact on our societies, 5) establish permanent dialogues G20-Big Tech Companies, 6) encourage to T20 System to carry out joint research on the impact of disruptive technologies and 7) promote reform in education system at all levels (primary, secondary, higher education and vocational training) that include learning about disruptive technologies.
