A House of Lords committee has raised an alert about the use of artificial intelligence tools in the justice system, saying it has serious implications for human rights and civil liberties. The Justice and Home Affairs Committee has sounded the warning in a new report, Technology rules? The advent of new technology in the justice system, in which it calls for the establishment of a mandatory register of algorithms used in relevant tools. It says that without a register it is virtually impossible to find out where and how specific algorithms are used, or for Parliament, the media, academia, and people subject to their use to scrutinise and challenge them. The committee also calls for a duty of candour on the police so that there is full transparency. It says that AI can have huge impacts on people's lives, particularly those in marginalised communities, and without transparency there can be no scrutiny and accountability when things go wrong.

In this post, I'm going to explain about the gender inequality with AI. I will provide some examples and a case study to address this issue. Let's first know about the AI system and it's working. Artificial Intelligence (AI) mimics human intelligence and use computers to analyse, classify and make predictions from the data. Machine Learning (ML) is the capability of an AI system to improve continuously through experiences.

The Lords Justice and Home Affairs Committee warned that the lack of oversight meant "users are in effect making it up as they go along". The cross-party group said AI had the potential to improve people's lives but could have "serious implications" for human rights and civil liberties in the justice system. "Algorithms are being used to improve crime detection, aid the security categorisation of prisoners, streamline entry clearance processes at our borders and generate new insights that feed into the entire criminal justice pipeline," the peers said. Scrutiny was not happening to ensure new tools were "safe, necessary, proportionate and effective". "Instead, we uncovered a landscape, a new Wild West, in which new technologies are developing at a pace that public awareness, government and legislation have not kept up with."

Prisoners' risk of reoffending was being judged by AI tools The unregulated use of AI in the U.K. justice system is potentially creating miscarriages of justice, according to a new report from the House of Lords. The report cites several examples of AI systems being used by the police, prison and probation services without "any thorough evaluation of their efficacy". "Proper trials methodology is fully embedded into medical science but there are no minimum scientific or ethical standards that an AI tool must meet before it can be used in the criminal justice sphere," the Lords' Justice and Home Affairs Committee found. The committee further warns that "without sufficient safeguards, supervision, and caution, advanced technologies may have a chilling effect on a range of human rights, undermine the fairness of trials, weaken the rule of law, further exacerbate existing inequalities, and fail to produce the promised effectiveness and efficiency gains". The report makes specific mention of questionable uses of AI in U.K. law enforcement.

A US judge has approved an $18m settlement between Activision Blizzard and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, bringing one of several discrimination lawsuits against the gaming company to a close. During a hearing on Tuesday, US district judge Dale Fischer said she would give final approval to the settlement after Activision and the EEOC made various tweaks she requested last week. The maker of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and other popular video games still faces suits filed by additional former employees, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), and shareholders accusing the company of widespread sex discrimination. Fischer on Tuesday also rejected a renewed effort to intervene in the case by the DFEH, which filed its own suit against Activision months before the EEOC and argued the settlement could hurt its own case. EEOC spokeswoman Nicole St Germain said the agency was pleased that Fischer said she would approve the settlement.

After two months, Tho Vu was infatuated. The 33-year-old customer service agent, living in Maryland, had met "Ze Zhao" through a dating app, and says she quickly began exchanging messages with him all day on WhatsApp. He seemed like someone she could rely on--he called her "little princess" and sent her reminders to drink enough water. By October 2021, despite never having met in person, they were talking about where to buy a house, how many kids to have, even how he hoped she'd do a home birth. "I want to take you with me when I do anything," he said, in messages seen by TIME.

Draft legislation, leaked ahead of its official release later this month, suggests the EU is attempting to find a "third way" on AI regulation, between the free market US and authoritarian China. In a way, the news is no surprise, as the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, promised to urgently bring in AI legislation when she was elected in 2019. Daniel Leufer at Access Now, one of the groups that has previously advised the EU on AI, says Europe has long had a strategy to take a third way between the US and China on tech regulation, and says the draft legislation has promise. It remains to be seen whether the UK will follow the EU in regulating AI now that it has left the bloc. The UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy told New Scientist that the government has formed an independent panel called the Regulatory Horizons Council to advise on what regulation is needed to react to new technology such as AI.

Those who choose to become part of the EEOC settlement will be waiving their rights to be part of the California state agency lawsuit on the specific issues of harassment, retaliation or pregnancy discrimination. If they have other claims -- for instance, pay inequity, which isn't covered by the EEOC's agreement with Activision Blizzard -- these former or current Activision Blizzard employees can still continue with the California state suit. Each individual's case will depend on their experiences at the company.

At The Good AI, we strongly believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be inclusive and celebrate diversity. However, AI is also the reflector of its creators and this translates into the reproduction of certain biases into AI products related to race, gender or sexual orientation among others. The following article from the MIT Technology Review explains how. In the light of this, the tech industry has an important responsibility towards society, and the death of George Floyd at the hands of a city police officer in Minneapolis, USA on 25 May 2020, -one in a long series of racists attacks against African Americans -, should urge us to take action. We need to make sure we are not perpetuating and letting racism or any other kind of discrimination take roots in our AI systems.
