AI: Ethics and Algorithms

In October a German group published its position on ethics and AI. With the new European Commission tipped to put forward a comprehensive AI policy in the first 100 days of office, a lot of scrutiny has been given to the proposals. German consumer rights organisation, vzbv, CEO, Klaus Müller explained: "We expect this report – which was drafted by experts for the German Ministries of the interior and justice/consumers – to influence the plans of the European Commission. At the presentation of the report people already said that its findings should now become part of the EU-level debate." There are several reasons to take the report seriously.
