Artificial Intelligence - IMCO/JURI INL

description

Since artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decisions are increasingly influencing our everyday life, the European Parliament is currently working on several own-initiative reports – this means texts which the Commission is then to present as a legislative proposal. I am rapporteur – in other words, the author of the report – in my Committee on Consumer Rights and the Internal Market. I already published my draft opinion (see discussion tab) and will present it in the committee on 18 May 2020 (livestream). Now the other political groups, as well as I myself, have until 19 May 2020 to propose amendments to my draft. This is why I call on you to provide me with any comments or suggestions you have to the current text!

For further background information on the report and the subject in general check out my blogpost.

1.Underlines the importance of an EU regulatory framework being applicable where consumers within the Union are users of or subject to an algorithmic system, irrespective of the place of establishment of the entities that develop, sell or employ the system;

2.Notes that the framework should apply to algorithmic systems, including the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, automated decision making processes and robotics;

P5

3.Stresses that any future regulation should follow a differentiated risk-based approach, based on the potential harm for the individual as well as for society at large, taking into account the specific use context of the algorithmic system; legal obligations should gradually increase with the identified risk level; in the lowest risk category there should be no additional legal obligations; algorithmic systems that may harm an individual, impact an individual’s access to resources, or concern their participation in society shall not be deemed to be in the lowest risk category; this risk-based approach should follow clear and transparent rules;

4.Underlines the importance of an ethical and regulatory framework including in particular provisions on the quality of data sets used in algorithmic systems, especially regarding the representativeness of training data used, on the de-biasing of data sets, as well as on the algorithms themselves, and on data and aggregation standards;

5.Believes that consumers should be adequately informed in a timely, impartial, easily-readable, standardised and accessible manner about the existence, process, rationale, reasoning and possible outcome of algorithmic systems, about how to reach a human with decision-making powers, and about how the system’s decisions can be checked, meaningfully contested and corrected;

6.Recalls the importance of ensuring the availability of effective remedies for consumers and calls on the Member States to ensure that accessible, affordable, independent and effective procedures are available to guarantee an impartial review of all claims of violations of consumer rights through the use of algorithmic systems, whether stemming from public or private sector actors;

7.Stresses that where public money contributes to the development or implementation of an algorithmic system, the code, the generated data -as far as it is non-personal- and the trained model should be public by default, to enable transparency and reuse, among other goals, to maximise the achievement of the Single Market, and to avoid market fragmentation;

8.Underlines the importance of ensuring that the interests of marginalised and vulnerable consumers and groups are adequately taken into account and represented in any future regulatory framework; notes that for the purpose of analysing the impacts of algorithmic systems on consumers, access to data should be extended to appropriate parties notably independent researchers, media and civil society organisations, while fully respecting Union data protection and privacy law; recalls the importance of training and giving basic skills to consumers to deal with algorithmic systems in order to protect them from potential risks and detriment of their rights;
