Description
What Is The Link Between Ethics And Law?
While it is easy to agree that AI applications should be ethical and their decisions should be fair, it is less straightforward to agree on what this means in practice and how, or to which extent, the law should impose fairness. Discover the link between ethics and law, and learn about the role that law plays, and can play, to ensure ethical AI. – Nathalie Smuha, KU Leuven
What Is Fair & Unfair?
Ethical AI aims to detect and mitigate bias to prevent unfair decisions. But what is fair and unfair? Learn about different notions of fairness and how these link with AI decisions. – Lode Lauwaert, KU Leuven
How To Implement Fair Credit Scoring?
Banks evaluate their credit scoring applications using group-fairness measures. Learn via a use-case about credit scoring, which group-fairness metrics are appropriate for detecting unfairness. – Martin Canter, Omina Technologies
