Intelligence agencies have identified artificial intelligence (AI) as a key technology for maintaining an edge over adversaries. This article explores the ethical challenges presented by the use of AI for augmented intelligence analysis. It begins with an outline of current and future potential uses of AI augmented intelligence analysis before identifying five sets of ethical risks relating to: intrusion; explainability and accountability; bias; authoritarianism and political security; collaboration and classification. The article offers a series of recommendations targeted at intelligence agencies to address and mitigate these challenges.<\/p>\n

“The Detroit City Council\u2019s decision to expand ShotSpotter with millions of our taxpayer dollars is a slap in the face to thousands of Detroit residents teetering on the precipice of homelessness, economic instability, and joblessness…. \u00a0We\u2019re calling on the Mayor and Council to offset their rash, harmful decisions by reinvesting in solutions to homelessness, recognizing and addressing root causes of violence, preserving and producing deeply affordable housing, increasing vital city services, and supporting arts and culture. The dedication to help our communities thrive is what will keep us safe, not microphones and surveillance.”<\/p>\n

Policing agencies in the United States are engaging in mass collection of personal data, building a vast architecture of surveillance. This growing network of surveillance is almost entirely unregulated. In virtually every other instance in which personal information is collected by the government, courts require that a sound regulatory scheme be in place before information collection occurs. The Article defines what a minimally acceptable regulatory scheme for mass data collection must include and shows how it can be grounded in the Constitution.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, the NYPD took the extraordinary step of appealing a court order to disclose documents about its surveillance of the historic Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. For Amnesty International and the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, it was a disappointing delay after two years of fighting to release these documents. But above all, it prompted us to ask: \u201cWhat is the NYPD hiding?\u201d<\/p>\n

Most online terms-of-use agreements claim to give their drafters broad discretion to modify the terms at the host\u2019s discretion. Some terms-of-use agreements purport to allow host websites to modify the terms by sending an email (inevitably, to your spam folder) to notify you of the changes. Others require users to constantly refresh their browsers to know when updates occur. Before 2022, courts usually enforced the former strategy while requiring some evidence of actual or constructive notice to enforce the latter. But this year, courts have begun to require more rigorous evidence of notice and assent to enforce modifications to online agreements.<\/p>\n

Cloudflare\u2019s recent headline-making decision to refuse its services to KiwiFarms\u2014a site notorious for allowing its users to wage harassment campaigns against trans people\u2014is likely to lead to more calls for infrastructure companies to police online speech. Although EFF would shed no tears at the loss of KiwiFarms (which is still online as of this writing), Cloudflare\u2019s decision re-raises fundamental, and still unanswered, questions about the role of such companies in shaping who can, and cannot, speak online.<\/p>\n

But in Europe, an organisation runs into a problem when it wants to assess whether its AI system accidentally discriminates based on ethnicity: the organisation may not know the applicants’ ethnicity. This paper asks whether the GDPR’s rules on special categories of personal data hinder the prevention of AI-driven discrimination.<\/p>\n Luca Bertuzzi on EURACTIV (euractiv.com)<\/p>\n EURACTIV has obtained an undated version of the Commission\u2019s work programme for 2023, which is set to be presented next Tuesday (18 October).
