Location: B16, Faculty of Law, and Zoom
Speaker: Tanya Krupiy, Newcastle University
This presentation will address some of the ways in which the use of artificial intelligence as part of the decision-making process poses difficulties for protecting individuals from discrimination in the context of the Equality Act 2010. One of such challenges entails a difficulty of mapping the harm onto the existing legal concepts. As a result, it can be challenging to render the harm visible and to invoke the Equality Act 2010. The presentation will propose how a number of assumptions in the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 can be rethought in order to enable this legislation to better respond to the challenge of discrimination in the digital context.
