Algorithms in India: Rights, Power, and the Constitution
Manage episode 321113504 series 3312949
Algorithmic decision-making systems (ADMS) have been used in India for a couple of years now to improve access to welfare, especially with the biometric system Aadhar. That, though, has come at a cost in terms of transparency and rights in India, as the courts weigh these up against a pure utilitarian concern for the welfare of the greatest number. Meanwhile, laws requiring social media companies to use algorithms to moderate their content seems to imply an understanding of the complexities of the meaning of speech which algorithms are not capable of.
This week, we are really excited to be joined by Divij Joshi, the creator of the AI Observatory India, to discuss how algorithms have been deployed in India, and the tools available for resisting their use in seriously problematic cases.
