danmcquillan, 8 months ago to ArtificialIntelligence VioGen is a risk prediction system for gender-based violence. But users (police) don't challenge the algo's predictions unrealistic assumptions (traumatised women can give binary responses to 35 questions!) not transparent, evaluated by creators Even worse, it only assigns the number of 'extreme' risk scores that the police budget allows, and undervalues non-physical forms of violence. All this collateral damage is typical of algorithmic/machine learning systems applied to social problems. #AlgorithmicStatesOfException https://eticasfoundation.org/gender/the-external-audit-of-the-viogen-system/ #viogen #genderbased #violence #algorithms #police #riskassessment #predictivepolicing
