Conférence régionale : résumés des interventions
Biometric data processed by AI systems: a societal issue
Biometric, physical, physiological or behavioral data — and the associated processing — pose particular risks. Several players have clearly understood the ethical stakes involved and announced that they were suspending or postponing the deployment of some biometric technologies pending clarifications from the lawmaker on what is authorized or prohibited and under what conditions. Biometric identification, emotion recognition and behavioral analysis have already been the subject of significant reflection, particularly in the field of security, as reflected in draft Artificial Intelligence Act. Depending on the purpose and the technology, a range of solutions can be envisaged, from prohibition to information and transparency. Knowing what is prohibited or authorized in which sector is essential. As biometric data is also personal data, a full knowledge of the requirements to be met under data protection laws is also a must. This conference aims to provide insights on this key issue.
The impact of AI on banking and financial services: legal aspects
Artificial intelligence, and blockchain in particular, are driving the digital transformation of the banking and finance sectors, which are among the most advanced sectors in the use of machine learning technologies. AI offers a lot of benefits in these sectors but there are also risks which regulators are striving to anticipate or minimize.
Autonomous vehicles and discrimination: AI system providers between a rock and a hard place
Social experiments conducted by MIT regarding the moral choices to be made by autonomous vehicles demonstrate a disparity in outcomes based on cultural and geographic factors. Under the European draft Artificial Intelligence Act, AI training data should take into account the specific geographical and behavioral setting within which the AI systems are intended to be used. Does this mean that AI data and system providers are allowed — or even required to — to carry out discriminatory processing to feed future AI? How to combine the provisions of the draft Artificial Intelligence Act with the prohibitions on discriminatory processing laid down, for example, in the GDPR?
AI in the Health sector: opportunities, challenges and risks vs. the autonomy of decision-making
With assisted surgeries, remote patient monitoring, intelligent prosthetics, or personalized treatments by cross-referencing data (Big Data), the role of AI in the medicine of the future seems obvious. However, the use of AI in the health sector causes some concerns, such as the unethical collection and use of health data, biases in algorithms, risks for patient safety, and cybersecurity. What about the decision-making autonomy of providers and patients with AI? What solutions and governance are proposed in the future European Artificial Intelligence Act to protect human autonomy?
