Interview with Moira Daviet Algorithmic discrimination in the world of workThe use of AI tools in hiring can have discriminatory effects. The FINDHR Horizon Europe project looks at how this type of discrimination can be tackled.
Discrimination 2.0 How AI can have negative impacts on childrenArtificial intelligence can have long-term impacts on the future prospects and living conditions of children and young people. Coinciding with World Children’s Day on November 20, AlgorithmWatch CH, humanrights.ch, Pro Juventute and UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein highlight how algorithms and AI can increase inequality and affect children.
For trans people, online transitioning can be a nightmareJust a formality? Updating one’s online identity can be like running the gauntlet and a flawed data architecture only makes it worse for the transgender community.
What is algorithmic discrimination?Discrimination by algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (AI): we give an overview of the topic.
Explainer How and why algorithms discriminateAutomated decision-making systems contain hidden discriminatory prejudices. We’ll explain the causes, possible consequences, and the reasons why existing laws do not provide sufficient protection against algorithmic discrimination.
Experiment Some image generators produce more problematic stereotypes than others, but all fail at diversityAutomated image generators are often accused of spreading harmful stereotypes, but studies usually only look at MidJourney. Other tools make serious efforts to increase diversity in their output, but effective remedies remain elusive.
Project “FINDHR” Avoiding discrimination in algorithmic hiringAlgorithmWatch CH is part of the Horizon Europe project “FINDHR”. In this interdisciplinary research project, we address discrimination by recruiting software by developing methods, tools, and trainings that are designed to avoid discrimination.
