Algorithmic Discrimination and Ethical Perspective of Artificial Intelligence

This book delves into the complex intersection between artificial intelligence and human rights violations, shedding light on the far-reaching implications within the framework of discrimination and the pivotal role equality bodies play in combatting these issues. Through a collaborative effort between the Human Rights and Equality Institution of Trkiye (HREIT) and Hasan Kalyoncu University, the groundbreaking "International Symposium on the Effects of Artificial Intelligence in the Context of the Prohibition of Discrimination" took place on March 30, 2022, in Gaziantep. This book is the outcome of this symposium, bringing attention to the alarming issues of "bias and discrimination" prevalent in the application of artificial intelligence. With a commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 8.10 of safeguarding human rights in the digital realm and countering the adverse effects of artificial intelligence, this work is an essential contribution to the Human Rights Action Plan. Comprising an array of insightful chapters, this book offers an in-depth exploration of artificial intelligence technologies, encompassing a broad spectrum of topics ranging from data protection to algorithmic discrimination, the deployment of artificial intelligence in criminal proceedings to combating hate speech, and from predictive policing to meta-surveillance. It aims to serve as a call to action, urging societies and policymakers to acknowledge the potential threats posed by AI and recognize the need for robust legislative frameworks and ethical principles to ensure that international standards on human rights are upheld in the face of technological advancements.
