Inteligência artificial e racismo algorítmo: análise da neutralidade dos algorítimos frente aos episódios de violação de direitos nos meios digitais

Abstract

This article aims to critically analyze the social aspects that involve the concept of “neutral”, within digital algorithms. The research problem revolves around how the algorithms used by various Artificial Intelligences have perpetuated racist and discriminatory policies inside and outside digital media in modern times. Its object is the critical analysis of modern dynamics within digital media and the pisodes of racism that arise from them, within the general objective of analyzing the importance and limitations of artificial intelligence within the actions of the modern world, based on program metrics with a racist and biased database and specific objectives, namely, the concept of artificial intelligence and its functionalities within society, the study of episodes of racism within the machine, and the analysis of rancidity and biased neutrality within AI , whose working hypothesis is precisely the analysis of the impact of racist and prejudiced metrics used by algorithms, within digital media. It is a fact that, in theory, artificial intelligence and computational algorithms They are neutral and indiscriminate mechanisms. However, what is observed within modern technologies is precisely a reinforcement of prejudices and discrimination, which generate violations of fundamental and human rights, based on the theoretical framework of the production of authors Cathy O`Neil, Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy”, and Tarcízio Silva: “Algorithmic racism: artificial intelligence and discrimination in digital networks”, which study the precedents and discussions involving artificial intelligence and the racist bias that accompanies global technological advancement. The research is carried out within the scope of the Culture, Law and Society Research Group DGP CNPQ UFMA, in the Law, State and Social Control research line.
