Co-constructing sociotechnical AI governance: participatory system mapping using algorithm registers
TL;DR
Participatory system mapping using algorithm registers reveals critical insights into the sociotechnical systems governing algorithmic decision-making in public services. Engaging diverse stakeholders identified safety hazards that traditional registers overlooked.
✦ Why It Matters
Incorporate stakeholder feedback into algorithm governance to enhance transparency and accountability in public services.
Key Takeaways
- Engage diverse stakeholders in algorithm governance processes.
- Utilize participatory mapping to identify system-level safety hazards.
- Incorporate findings from algorithm registers into broader governance frameworks.
- Assess the normative dimensions of algorithmic decision-making.
How It Works
Participatory system mapping involves stakeholders collaboratively visualizing the algorithmic system, which helps identify potential safety hazards that traditional algorithm registers may miss.
