The algorithmic discrimination

Main Article Content
Abstract
Algorithmic discrimination can result from the operation of artificial intelligence systems in both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, these are, for example, recommendations for sentencing for criminal offenses, making decisions on pension and social benefits or unemployment benefits, etc. In the private sector, these are decisions that are made in relation to employment, housing, loan approval, pro- duct advertising, etc. Existing legal regulations on non-discrimination and data protection, consumer protection, etc. provide certain opportunities to combat algorithmic discrimination. However, it is certainly necessary to improve these regulations and to adopt new general and sectoral regulations, which will regulate the use of artificial intelligence systems based on algorithmic decision-making, in a safe manner and with a high level of protection of individual rights and freedoms. One of the good solutions for eliminating algorithmic discrimination is that legal regulations require meeting certain conditions and issuing certificates for artificial intelligence systems that are high-risk or that may endanger human rights and freedoms, as provided by the EU Regulation on Artificial Intelligence from 2021.
