This is a bit of a development. An Italian court has found an algorithm used by Deliveroo to determine the reliability of a rider was discriminatory and ordered them to pay 50,000 euros to the suing parties. This opens the door to Judicial Reviews of algorithms. I wonder if we'll see similar cases spring up for other types of algos such as those used in social media? "“This is a landmark case,” Valerio De Stefano, a professor in labor law at KU Leuven who specializes in AI and labor regulation, told Motherboard over the phone. “What it shows, basically, is that on a legal level you can have indirect discrimination through algorithims and that algorithms are therefore subject to judicial review, that you can legally question how these types of algorithms work. I think that’s important, because people can often think of algorithms as objectively neutral, when in fact there’s always the possibility of discrimination involved.”"
