FULL TEXT
2019 FEB 25 (VerticalNews) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Engineering -- Current study
results on Artificial Intelligence have been published. According to news reporting out of Berkeley, California, by
VerticalNews editors, the research stated, "In this Article, I explore the impending conflict between the protection
of civil rights and artificial intelligence (AI). While both areas of law have amassed rich and well-developed areas of
scholarly work and doctrinal support, a growing body of scholars are interrogating the intersection between them."
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of California, "This Article argues that
the issues surrounding algorithmic accountability demonstrate a deeper, more structural tension within a new
generation of disputes regarding law and technology. As I argue, the true promise of AI does not lie in the
information we reveal to one another, but rather in the questions it raises about the interaction of technology,
property, and civil rights. For this reason, I argue that we are looking in the wrong place if we look only to the state
to address issues of algorithmic accountability. Instead, given the state's reluctance to address the issue, we must
turn to other ways to ensure more transparency and accountability that stem from private industry, rather than
public regulation. The issue of algorithmic bias represents a crucial new world of civil rights concerns, one that is
distinct in nature from the ones that preceded it. Since we are in a world where the activities of private
corporations, rather than the state, are raising concerns about privacy, due process, and discrimination, we must
focus on the role of private corporations in addressing the issue. Towards this end, I discuss a variety of tools to
help eliminate the opacity of AI, including codes of conduct, impact statements, and whistleblower protection,
which I argue carries the potential to encourage greater endogeneity in civil rights enforcement."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Ultimately, by examining the relationship between private
industry and civil rights, we can perhaps develop a new generation of forms of accountability in the process."
