Goals
This transnational training seminar addresses the use of artificial intelligence by public administration to enable a structured debate on the limits and opportunities of its application. Many questions arise regarding artificial intelligence and fundamental rights that could become subject of judicial proceedings.
In particular, by focusing on current and planned future developments at European and national level, the seminar aims to open a debate on some crucial aspects of the impact of using artificial intelligence in public administration on fundamental rights.
Content
Among the issues that will be addressed:
- Risks for fundamental rights arising from the use of AI in the public administration. In particular, discrimination of vulnerable groups and excessive control of individuals by AI systems. How do courts deal with such cases?
- Challenges for judicial review of decisions of the public administration that have been totally or partially adopted by algorithms and AI.
- Algorithms as instruments and initiatives - eventually already implemented - of automatization for assisting in public administration, concerning, for example, benefits delivery, public safety, infrastructure planning or fraud detection.
- Constitutional issues - legitimacy of the use of these instruments, compliance with fundamental rights.
Concerning methodology, the sessions will alternate between presentations and discussions, as well as experience panels and interactive working groups.
