ICO’s
Interim Report on Explaining AI
On
June 3, 2019, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”),
released an Interim
Report on
a collaboration project with The Alan Turing Institute (“Institute”)
called “Project ExplAIn.” The purpose of this project, according
to the ICO, is to develop “practical guidance” for organizations
on complying with UK data protection law when using artificial
intelligence (“AI”) decision-making systems; in particular, to
explain the impact AI decisions may have on individuals. This
Interim Report may be of particular relevance to organizations
considering how
to meet transparency obligations when deploying AI systems that make
automated decisions that fall within the scope of Article 22 of the
GDPR.

big challenge with these antitrust things is, it’s not obvious what
the consumer harm is today,” says Scott Kupor, managing partner at
venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which has invested in
Facebook as well as Pinterest (PINS) and Slack Technologies. “If
you think about the consumer utility of Facebook, Google, Amazon, and
Apple, it’s not clear they are doing something that is curtailing
competition. It’s not clear they are raising prices.”
Facebook’s and Google’s services are by and
large free to consumers. And one could argue that Amazon’s
e-commerce marketplace has played a key role in lowering retail
prices for consumers.
“The idea that Facebook, Google, and Amazon have
harmed consumers over the last decade is laughable,” Mark Mahaney
of RBC Capital Markets, a longtime internet analyst, tells Barron’s.
“I think these companies have created an enormous amount of
convenience, savings, and benefits for consumers.”
