BRIEFING. STOA Options Brief*
Auditing the quality of datasets
used in algorithmic decision-making
systems**
The existence of biases pre-dates the creation of artifi cial intelligence
(AI) tools. All human societies are biased – AI only reproduces what we
are. Therefore, opposing this technology for this reason would simply hide
discrimination and not prevent it. It is up to human supervision to use all
available means– which are many – to mitigate its biases. It is likely that at
some point in the future, recommendations made by an AI mechanism will
contain less bias than those made by human beings. Unlike humans, AI can
be reviewed and its fl aws corrected on a consistent basis. Ultimately, AI could
eventually serve to build fairer, less biased societies.
