Dutch Data Protection Authority gives Tax Administration green light to use special data against AI discrimination.
The Dutch Data Protection Authority allows the Tax Administration to process special categories of personal data in exceptional cases. This data may be specifically used for bias and fairness research into automated selection systems.
The primary objective of this measure is to effectively detect and correct discrimination by algorithms.
This marks an interesting shift within the domain of responsible and ethical AI.
Privacy regulations thus do not solely constitute a limitation, but prove to be an essential tool for monitoring the fairness of AI systems.
