Algorithmic transparency in decision making. GDPR position and its application problems
Conference within the cycle of the subject of Ethics, Legislation and Profession with the speaker Paloma Llaneza (Lawyer) held in November 2018.
The main topic is the vision of the GDPR as an expected remedy to the treatment of big data for decision making. Mathematical models could lead us to the conclusion that they are neutral and that their results are the best of the possible options, but this is not the case: mathematical models are not neutral and are the simplified representation of a process. Despite their reputation for impartiality, they reflect the goals and ideology, the biases and priorities of their creators.
Ethics for the information age, Michael J. Quinn
Societies develop new technologies to sort out problem and make life better, but technology, once adopted, can transform us and how we interact with people and environment. Some of these transformations can even create new problems. Further than being a reason to stop the innovation, it gives societies to taking this innovation and technology-related decisions seriously, weighing the benefits and potential harms associated with the use of new devices. To that end, the book will help you gain a better understanding of contemporary ethical issues related to the use of information technology.
