Sunday January 26, 2025, Radical Sunday School: AI and Discrimination. From 18:00 till 20:00.
In recent years, the use of Artificial Intelligence has been growing more and more in our society. This is due to the push for greater efficiency in performing different tasks and, at the same time, the desire to make more objective decisions free from human influence—or so it is claimed. From the judicial and penitentiary systems to tax control, from companies aiming to speed up hiring processes to banks approving loans, AI is being increasingly implemented.
However, the use of AI can often be unfair to certain social groups and may reinforce existing biases, ultimately worsening the living conditions of many people in our society. Just think of the Dutch childcare benefits scandal and its disastrous consequences here in the Netherlands, or the Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS) scandal and its damaging effects in the USA.
During this session of Radical Sunday School, we invite you to join us in discussing this growing issue in our society and the concept of Data Ethics, so we can collectively think about the problem and possible solutions.
