The ACLU’s racial justice program aims to maintain and expand constitutionally guaranteed rights for others who have traditionally been denied their rights on the basis of race.
AI systems are reshaping and influencing key social domain names that have an effect on our daily lives, from justice and schooling to healthcare and more. Artificial intelligence refers to computer models, or algorithms, that are widely used for automated decision-making: analyzing massive amounts of data, locating correlations, and then making predictions about long-term outcomes. For example, employers use AI systems that determine who to promote assignment posts to and which applicants to reject, and housing providers use AI to screen potential tenants. . So when AI systems evolve or are used in a way that doesn’t sufficiently take into account existing racism, sexism, and other inequalities, built-in algorithmic bias can undermine predictive decisions and lead to invisible but very genuine discrimination. As those systems are implemented, exacerbate existing disparities and create new barriers for already marginalized groups.
AI is built through humans, and too often, racial biases can appear in its design, progression, and implementation. Establishing legislation and regulations that require rigorous auditing for fairness, transparency, and accountability, as well as litigation to prevent and redress civil rights violations, and direct engagement with tech corporations can ensure some racial fairness.
The racial justice program seeks to challenge AI’s strength to maintain and exacerbate systemic racism. In coalition with ACLU affiliates in each state, other civil rights groups, and local advocates, we advocate for more legislation and policies, and grassroots movements to work with. to make some equity in AI systems, i. e. in employment, housing and credit spaces.
RJP works heavily with ACLU colleagues such as the Women’s Rights Project, the Disability Rights Project, and the Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project for robust coverage of civil rights and civil liberties in the use of AI.
