DESCRIPTION:Join us for a CIPP-Lallemand Seminar with Professor Miriam Buit
 en\, University of Mannheim\, Germany.\n\nAbstract\n\nArtificial intellige
 nce (AI) is becoming a part of our daily lives at a fast pace\, offering m
 yriad benefits for society. At the same time\, there is concern about the 
 unpredictability and uncontrollability of AI. In response\, legislators an
 d scholars call for more transparency and explainability of AI.\n\nThis ar
 ticle considers what it would mean to require transparency of AI. It advoc
 ates looking beyond the opaque concept of AI\, focusing on the concrete ri
 sks and biases of its underlying technology: machine-learning algorithms. 
 The article discusses the biases that an algorithm may produce through its
  input data\, its testing and its decision model. Any transparency require
 ment for algorithms should result in explanations of these biases that are
  both understandable for the prospective recipients\, and technically feas
 ible for producers.\n\nBefore asking how much transparency the law should 
 require from algorithms\, this article argues that we should consider if t
 he explanation that programmers can offer is useful in specific legal cont
 exts.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nMiriam Buiten is a Junior Professor of Law a
 nd Economics at the University of Mannheim. Her research focuses on techno
 logy law\, EU consumer law and competition law and economics. Her current 
 research projects address the liability of online platforms\, regulatory r
 equirements for artificial intelligence\, and the law and economics of rob
 o-advisors. Prior to joining the University of Mannheim\, Miriam worked as
  a legal advisor for a Dutch law firm and as a trainee at the European Com
 mission. She obtained a joint PhD from the Erasmus University Rotterdam an
 d Hamburg University.\n\nA request for accreditation for 1.5h of continuin
 g legal education has been made to a recognized provider.\n
