Abstract
Applications of artificial intelligence, algorithmic differentiation, and automated decision‐making systems aim to improve the efficiency of decision‐making for differentiating persons. However, they may also pose new risks to fundamental rights, including the risk of discrimination and potential violations of human dignity. Anti‐discrimination law is not only based on the principles of justice and equal treatment but also aims to ensure the free development of one’s personality and the protection of human dignity. This article examines developments in AI and algorithmic differentiation from the perspective of human dignity. Problems addressed include the expansion of the reach of algorithmic decisions, the potential for serious, systematic, or structural discrimination, the phenomenon of statistical discrimination and the treatment of persons not as individuals, deficits in the regulation of automated decisions and informed consent, the creation and use of comprehensive and personality‐constituting personal and group profiles, and the increase in structural dominance.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
