L’intelligence artificielle est partout et concerne tout le monde. Un nouveau rapport de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’UE (FRA) examine l’utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle dans la police prédictive et la détection des discours offensants. Le rapport démontre comment les préjugés dans les algorithmes apparaissent et comment ils peuvent affecter la vie de la population. C’est la première fois que la FRA fournit des éléments concrets sur la manière dont les biais se forment. L'Agence invite les décideurs politiques à veiller à ce que l'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) soit testée pour détecter les préjugés qui pourraient conduire à la discrimination.
