+ Safe and Effective Systems
-> What should be expected of automated systems
--> Risk identification and mitigation
What they should really be focusing on is Hazard/Reliability engineering. "Risk" is too broad of a term for safety because it includes "economic harm" which ... well it's by decree.
+ Algorithmic Discrimination Protections
The only task these system perform is discrimination, and it's impossible to tell what the system can infer -- the Federal government will do anything to avoid naming the root causes of harmful inequality experienced by protected classes (and addressing that instead of holding a butter knife up to the neck of a shiny object).
+ Data Privacy
This is actually impossible without trust. Homomorphic encryption isn't a thing. This isn't happening.
+ Notice and Explanation
-> Why this principle is important
Chicago kept a secret watch list of violence-prone individuals. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2017/5/18/18386116/a-look-inside-the-watch-list-chicago-police-fought-to-keep-secret https://chicago.suntimes.com/2017/5/18/18386116/a-look-insid... is this important? If it was derived from OSINT, and it was being used for public safety purposes why is the federal government meddling in it -- do they have a monopoly on secrets? They shouldn't, if the public safety of Chicago is to be seen.
edit: I'm not sure what the criticism is here in light of the Notice and Explanation requirement -- there was N&E at most 4y after the practice began -- and it wasn't really a gaffe, presumably such a risk assessment system is still being used. I guess the argument is that this should have been required, or made earlier?
+ Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback
This is probably what we need more of at first, and then less of later -- once all these goofy flat "simple" decision models have been replaced.
Here's a clear drawing of the ideal system without all the pesky words: https://ibb.co/7KrgBk4 https://ibb.co/7KrgBk4
