Theil C1-5

Ethics and Discrimination in the context of Algorithmic decision-making Algorithmic decision-making in many areas such as employment, health, justice has led to a revolutionary change in the decisions that shape and affect our lives. Meanwhile, an increasing number of scholars address what is called the ‘ethics of algorithms’ and the ‘ethics of AI’, and discuss if this use of technological systems can improve the quality of decision-making or, instead, aggravate issues related to discrimination. The nature of discrimination is controversial, since there are many forms of discrimination and it is not clear whether they are all morally wrong, nor is it clear why they are morally problematic and unfair. How many forms of discrimination can one distinguish? What makes discrimination wrong? And what does it mean to be discriminated by an algorithm? By covering this wide range of topics, the lesson aims to present and explore key questions and arguments concerning the ethics of discrimination in the context of algorithmic decision-making.﻿About the speaker Marianna Capasso, Marianna Capasso is a postdoctoral researcher at the Erasmus School of Philosophy at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. She is specialised in philosophy of technology and AI ethics and has written numerous articles in these respective areas.
