24.01.2022 What ‘harm’ will AI do? "What is harm? Who and how will harm be assessed? Over what period should harm be measured? Discussions of the harms and benefits of new technologies are nothing new. They are likely as old as human tool-making itself. But what is consistent over time, is that new technologies are never neutral or balanced in their impact."

22.01.2022 There’s fairness and there’s procedural fairness "Procedural fairness has been codified in some pieces of Australian legislation and restricted in others.[3] While the application of procedural fairness rules apply primarily to administrative and government decisions, it is unquestionably a cornerstone to our common understanding of justice."

22.01.2022 Fairness universally understood but hotly contested "We are each born with a design framework or set of parameters within which different languages[2]or different moral norms can be learned depending on culture, environment and context. So an innate sense of fairness does not imply a universal set of fairness values or norms. Rather, when examining fairness from an evolutionary perspective, variations in ‘what is fair’ in different times and places is expected."

20.01.2022 What is ‘High Risk’ AI? "The term ‘high risk AI’ is seemingly the threshold at which legislation should step in to restrict the development and deployment of AI.
