*POSTPONED* SEMINAR on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights: Utopia or Reality?

Artificial intelligence is being used in many areas of our lives with still unpredictable consequences. Nowadays, there are algorithms fed by large databases making decisions autonomously. The automation of decisions can be a great benefit because it allows certain decisions to be delegated, but what happens when an algorithm is racist or sexist? How and who ensures that these mathematical systems are not discriminating against groups and at-risk population?
These are urgent questions to deal with and debate publicly within the social sector. This is why we invite you to an all-day conference with professionals in the technological and human rights field on March 12th.
