Uncovering Discriminatory AI in Welfare Fraud Prediction
This chapter explores a data reporter's investigation into the use of AI systems to predict welfare fraud in Europe, inspired by uncovering racial bias in similar algorithms in the US. They reveal how the AI system flagged individuals in discriminatory ways, based on variables like age, gender, marital status, language, and subjective character assessments. The chapter highlights the impact on vulnerable individuals and raises concerns about the use and impact of such biased AI tools.
