An AI-based computer system can gather data and use that data to make decisions or solve problems – using algorithms to perform tasks that, if done by a human, would be said to require intelligence. The benefits created by AI and machine learning (ML) systems for better health care, safer transportation, and greater efficiencies across the globe are already happening. But the increased amounts of data and computing power that enable sophisticated AI and ML models raise questions about the privacy impacts, ethical consequences, fairness, and real world harms if the systems are not designed and managed responsibly. FPF works with commercial, academic, and civil society supporters and partners to develop best practices for managing risk in AI and ML and assess whether historical data protection practices such as fairness, accountability, and transparency are sufficient to answer the ethical questions they raise.
