AI, Algorithms, and Awful Humans – Final published version by Daniel J. Solove Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 bit.ly/3JegpNo #AI

So thrilled to be part of this amazing symposium on #artificalintelligence . Thanks go to Andrew W. Torrance, Bill Tomlinson, Harry Surden, Matthew Sag, Abdi Aidid, Jason Schultz, Daniel J. Solove, Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸, Eliott Behar for their superb essays and to Fordham Law Review for incredible oversight.

This paper describes how current laws fail to distinguish between inferences based on past conduct and algorithmic predictions about the future.

That's all, folks! Thank you for making this an extraordinary night of recognizing leading privacy scholarship. See you next year! 🎉 #PrivacyPapers

LIVE NOW: Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 (@VUBrussel) and Daniel J. Solove (@gwlaw) present their paper “The Prediction Society: Algorithms and the Problems of Forecasting the Future” alongside discussant Didier Barjon! #PrivacyPapers

Today at 4:30 PM @GWLaw I will be presenting my article with Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 'The Prediction Society: AI and the Problems of Forecasting the Future' calendar.gwu.edu/event/the_pred…

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove Many thanks to Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 and Daniel J. Solove for sharing their work on the “prediction society” at today’s Law and Tech talk!

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove Inferences about the past and present are different from inferences about the future. Acknowledging that is the starting point to discussing what are acceptable and unacceptable uses of algorithmic predictions and what rules should govern them. 8/n

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove A lot of privacy law focuses on individual rights. But the kinds of individual rights we have -- like a right to rectification or correction -- are not apt for this. It's very hard to address predictions at an individual level. 7/n

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove Privacy + data protection laws are built around a true-false dichotomy. But algorithmic predictions are neither true nor false. The real issue is whether predictions are just, fair and not causing unwarranted harm. The law doesn't have a way to address this. 6/n

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove In a prediction society, individuals' ability to author their own future is diminished. We like to think we should be judged on our own actions, but in the prediction society, we are judged on the actions of others. 5/n

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove Algorithmic predictions don't just forecast the future, they are creating and controlling it. They take from individuals who have the power to shape their future and give that power to someone else. 4/n

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove There is no legal architecture for litigating the future.

We have a long history of litigating the past, with rules of evidence, procedure, etc. But when it comes to predicting the future, 'who is going to commit a crime?' doesn't appear in the context of law. 3/n

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove The temporal dimension dramatically changes the implications of algorithmic predictions and presents a unique set of problems. Ironically, future forecasting is occurring with far too little foresight today. 2/n

Yuki / Hideyuki MATSUMI / 松実秀幸 Daniel J. Solove Predictions are different from other types of inferences. They are unique because they focus on the future... 1/n
