Event description
Dive into the world of AI decision-making and discover how information access plays a key role in understanding this new kind of governance.
The ATI Community of Practice are delighted to bring you our next event highlighting the power of Freedom of Information rights to expose the realities of AI and automated decision-making in government.
We’ll be hearing from three fantastic speakers:
- Jake Hurfurt from Big Brother Watch will tell us about the new developments in government algorithmic decision making he has uncovered, and how transparency loses out as a result
- Gabriel Geiger will share behind-the-scenes information about Lighthouse Reports‘ award-winning Suspicion Machines investigation which revealed how machine learning algorithms were disproportionately targeting individuals based on ethnicity and gender
- Morgan Currie will tell us all about her recent research that analysed 51 FOI requests to reveal how the UK’s Department for Work and Pensions uses secretive data analytics to detect welfare fraud, and uncovers broader learning for civil society actors using FOI to enhance transparency.
