Predictive optimisation as a move away from the rule of law, liberalism and democracy Buon pomeriggio, vi sottopongo il postprint di un mio articolo che è stato accettato da "Ethics & Politics", Do AI systems have politics? Predictive optimisation as a move away from the rule of law, liberalism and democracy. Questo è l'abstract: In predictive optimisation systems, machine learning is used to predict future outcomes of interest about individuals, and these predictions are used to make decisions about them. Despite being based on pseudoscience, not working and unfixably harmful, predictive optimisation systems are still used by private companies and by governments. As they are based on the assimilation of people to things, predictive optimisation systems have inherent political properties that cannot be altered by any technical design choice: the initial choice about whether or not to adopt them is therefore decisive, as Langdon Winner wrote about inherently political technologies. The adoption of predictive optimisation systems is incompatible with liberalism and the rule of law because it results in people not being recognised as self-determining subjects, not being equal before the law, not being able to predict which law will be applied to them, all being under surveillance as ‘suspects’ and being able or unable to exercise their rights in ways that depend not on their status as citizens, but on their contingent economic, social, emotional, health or religious status. Under the rule of law, these systems should simply be banned. Qui il testo completo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10229060 Vi sarò grata di qualsiasi osservazione.
Considering all this, one cannot but agree with those who observe that the use of ML systems for decision-making purposes in areas relevant to people's lives is tantamount to the creation, through administrative decisions, of “almost human rights-free zones”.(94) The development, sale and use of predictive optimisation systems is exploiting a “legal bubble”,(95) ie, it is taking place in violation of legally protected rights, betting on a subsequent legal rescue in the name of the inevitability of technological innovation(96).alla nota 95 citi un articolo di Marco Giraudo et al. sulle legal bubbles.
