Algorithmic harm is not an abstract concern. With each passing year, examples of harm are accumulating. Here's the latest; it is one of the first examples of "algorithmic wage theft," but sadly, it won't be the last. #algorithmictransparency www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Many of the battles concerning #AlgorithmicTransparency in recent years have been devoted to access the code of automated systems, but there’s so much to it: what vendors worked with the government in building these tools? Who are the providers? Is there independent evaluation in place?

Laws and regulations addressing algorithms, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), are evolving globally to address concerns about bias, transparency, accountability, and ethical use. Below is an overview of key developments: ## United States 1. **Algorithmic Accountability Act**: - Reintroduced in 2023, this proposed federal law requires companies to assess their algorithms for bias and discriminatory effects, particularly in critical decision-making areas like housing, employment, education, and healthcare. It mandates transparency and impact assessments for automated systems used by entities handling significant consumer data or revenue[2][3][5]. 2. **State-Level Legislation**: - **California**: Proposed laws like AB 331 require impact assessments for automated decision-making tools and allow consumers to request manual reviews for consequential decisions[4]. - **Connecticut**: Enacted a law establishing an Office of Artificial Intelligence to study AI's societal impacts and develop an AI Bill of Rights[4]. - **Illinois**: Introduced bills requiring certification of algorithms used in healthcare and granting patients the right to opt out of algorithmic diagnoses[4]. 3. **Stop Discrimination by Algorithms Act**: - Reintroduced in 2023, this legislation aims to prevent algorithmic discrimination based on protected characteristics like race, gender, or disability in critical decision-making processes[5]. ## Europe The European Union has been at the forefront of AI regulation with initiatives like the **AI Act**, which categorizes AI systems based on risk levels and imposes strict requirements on high-risk applications. Transparency and accountability are central themes in these regulations[1]. ## Global Examples 1. **Netherlands**: The SyRI system used for welfare fraud detection was shut down due to privacy violations under the European Convention on Human Rights[1]. 2. **United Kingdom**: Public protests against algorithmic grading.

UK Lords push bill to tame rogue algorithms in public sector www.theregister.com/2024/09/10/u...

Public Authority Algorithmic and Automated Decision-Making Systems Bill bills.parliament.uk/bills/3760

#AIpolicy #algorithmictransparency #dataprotection #DISDBill -ish
Under Lord Clement-Jones' proposals, if an automated decision affects social security benefits, immigration, or similar, a citizen would have a right to access the information on why the decision was made so that they could challenge it. The proposed bill says public authorities should publish impact assessments of any automated or AI algorithms they use to make decisions, and to keep a transparency register on automated decision making. It also obliges the government to provide an independent dispute resolution service for people who want to challenge any decisions made about them.

Big Tech platforms operate in an opaque gray zone where reach is throttled without notice. Dropping to single-digit views is arbitrary de-ranking hidden behind terms of service. Without independent audits, creators are left powerless.
