How can we know that important decisions are not made by a robot, but by a person? Algorithms are not infallible: the technology bias Despite the fact that algorithms have been living with us for a long time, it has not been until the advent of technology when they have acquired a more relevant role. We can define this term as a series of instructions , prepared by people, that are carried out from a machine to solve a situation. In this matter, the most advanced country is the United States, which uses an algorithm to decide who to send to prison.
It is called COMPAS and it helps at least 10 states in the country to pass sentence, reviewing the criminal history of the defendant, along with 137 other factors. In this case, this algorithm is programmed to predict the chances that an individual has committed a crime and may reoffend. dehumanized society Photo: Glenn Carstens-Peters mobile number list In 2013, Eric Loomis was pulled over by Wisconsin State Police officers while driving a vehicle involved in a shooting without the authorization of the car's owner. Loomis was sentenced to seven years in prison and according to the COMPAS computer program.
He was a criminal at high risk of committing new crimes . The defendant's defense alleged that the right to a process with all the guarantees had been violated, since they could not know the methods used by COMPAS, whose algorithm was secret and only the company that had developed it knew about it . Finally, the Supreme Court of the State of Wisconsin did not accept such arguments. According to an analysis of more than 10,000 defendants in the State of Florida published in 2016 by the ProPublica research group , it showed that black people were often rated as having a high chance of recidivism.
