Abstract

In recent years, AI technology has come to be used in a variety of situations, and various issues have arisen regarding its impact on society. For example, the issues include data leakage in services using personal data, an invasion of privacy in profiling by data providers, and discriminatory behavior and black boxing of applications using machine learning. This talk will introduce the fairness and accountability of privacy protection techniques and machine learning with examples of these ethical issues.
