ISPS DEMOCRATIC INNOVATIONS CONFERENCE

Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to transform how government agencies and public authorities do their work. AI and data-driven algorithms are increasingly being used to inform important decisions, from the allocation of food stamps and the granting of parole to the selection of tax audit targets and the deployment pattern of police patrols. This mini-conference brings together scholars studying the use of AI and algorithmic decision-making in high-stakes policy domains from different perspectives. Together, we aim to promote understanding of the current role this technology plays in government, shed light on the promise and challenges involved in such uses, and provide a platform for discussing how to unlock the potential of AI algorithms to improve public policies while maintaining democratic values and human rights.
