Download or read book The Application of Artificial Intelligence to Contract Management written by Timothy A. Kruppenbacher and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area of contract management currently holds many opportunities for the development of expert systems which are capable of assuming the role of a legal consultant on matters pertaining to claim analysis. To demonstrate the feasibility of this type of expert system, the Differing Site Condition Analysis System (DSCAS) has been developed. DSCAS, built within the ROSIE programming environment, is capable of performing the legal analysis of a differing site condition (DSC) claim. The DSCAS program is based on logic which is patterned after the decision process used by a lawyer to analyze the DSC claim. DSCAS provides a very user-friendly environment in which the analysis is performed and a number of desirable features. Two of the most desirable features are: its ability to make assumptions and continue the analysis if an answer is unknown and its ability to explain the reason behind concluding that the contractor will not be allowed entitlement.

This book was released on 2024-10-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an early warning to public officials, policymakers, and procurement practitioners on the impact of AI on the public sector. Many governments have established national AI strategies and set ambitious goals to incorporate AI into the public infrastructure, while lacking AI-specific procurement guidelines. AI is not traditional software, and traditional processes are not sufficient to meet the challenges AI brings. Today’s decisions to embed AI and algorithmic systems into public system infrastructure can – and will – have serious repercussions in the future. The promise of AI systems is to make the public sector more efficient, effective, fair, and sustainable. However, AI systems also bring new and emerging risks which can impact rights and freedoms. Therefore, guardrails are necessary to consider the socio-technical dimensions and impact on individuals, communities, and society at large. It is crucial that public sector decision-makers understand the emerging risks of AI systems, the impact on the agency and the wider public infrastructure, and have the means to independently validate vendor claims. This book is a result of interviews with more than 20 public procurement professionals across countries, offering an in-depth analysis of the risks, incidents, governance practices, and emerging good practices around the world, and provides valuable procurement policy and process recommendations to address and mitigate these risks.

Download or read book Contracting for Algorithmic Accountability written by Cary Coglianese and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As local, state, and federal governments increase their reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) decision-making tools designed and operated by private contractors, so too do public concerns increase over the accountability and transparency of such AI tools. But current calls to respond to these concerns by banning governments from using AI will only deny society the benefits that prudent use of such technology can provide. In this Article, we argue that government agencies should pursue a more nuanced and effective approach to governing the governmental use of AI by structuring their procurement contracts for AI tools and services in ways that promote responsible use of algorithms. By contracting for algorithmic accountability, government agencies can act immediately, without any need for new legislation, to reassure the public that governmental use of machine-learning algorithms will be deployed responsibly. Furthermore, unlike with the adoption of legislation, a contracting approach to AI governance can be tailored to meet the needs of specific agencies and particular uses. Contracting can also provide a means for government to foster improved deployment of AI in the private sector, as vendors that serve government agencies may shift their practices more generally to foster responsible AI practices with their private sector clients. As a result, we argue that government procurement officers and agency officials should consider several key governance issues in their contract negotiations with AI vendors. Perhaps the most fundamental issue relates to vendors' claims to trade secret protection--an issue that we show can be readily addressed during the procurement process. Government contracts can be designed to balance legitimate protection of proprietary information with the vital public need for transparency about the design and operation of algorithmic systems used by government agencies. We further urge consideration in government contracting of other key governance issues, including data privacy and security, the use of algorithmic impact statements or audits, and the role for public participation in the development of AI systems. In an era of increasing governmental reliance on artificial intelligence, public contracting can serve as an important and tractable governance strategy to promote the responsible use of algorithmic tools.

Download or read book Regulating Artificial Intelligence written by Thomas Wischmeyer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the normative and practical challenges for artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, offers comprehensive information on the laws that currently shape or restrict the design or use of AI, and develops policy recommendations for those areas in which regulation is most urgently needed. By gathering contributions from scholars who are experts in their respective fields of legal research, it demonstrates that AI regulation is not a specialized sub-discipline, but affects the entire legal system and thus concerns all lawyers. Machine learning-based technology, which lies at the heart of what is commonly referred to as AI, is increasingly being employed to make policy and business decisions with broad social impacts, and therefore runs the risk of causing wide-scale damage. At the same time, AI technology is becoming more and more complex and difficult to understand, making it harder to determine whether or not it is being used in accordance with the law. In light of this situation, even tech enthusiasts are calling for stricter regulation of AI. Legislators, too, are stepping in and have begun to pass AI laws, including the prohibition of automated decision-making systems in Article 22 of the General Data Protection Regulation, the New York City AI transparency bill, and the 2017 amendments to the German Cartel Act and German Administrative Procedure Act. While the belief that something needs to be done is widely shared, there is far less clarity about what exactly can or should be done, or what effective regulation might look like. The book is divided into two major parts, the first of which focuses on features common to most AI systems, and explores how they relate to the legal framework for data-driven technologies, which already exists in the form of (national and supra-national) constitutional law, EU data protection and competition law, and anti-discrimination law. In the second part, the book examines in detail a number of relevant sectors in which AI is increasingly shaping decision-making processes, ranging from the notorious social media and the legal, financial and healthcare industries, to fields like law enforcement and tax law, in which we can observe how regulation by AI is becoming a reality.

Download or read book AI in Negotiating and Entering Into Contracts written by Eliza Mik and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter retains a safe working distance from the usual hype surrounding AI as well as from theories that seek to replicate human intelligence or intention. Taking into account the current state of the art, it explores whether a difference in the degree to which AI can augment or optimize human performance in the contracting process necessitates an adaptation of the law. After all, much of legal scholarship seems to have been seduced by technological progress, the popular assumption being that a change in technology necessitates a change in the law. The chapter distinguishes between entering into contracts, defined as a mechanistic form of transacting that involves unilaterally imposed terms and fixed prices, and negotiating contracts, which involves a complex multi-attribute decision-making process. The starting hypothesis is that AI cannot negotiate contracts because the negotiation requires understanding and the ability to reason about the mental states of other market participants. Nonetheless, even the less complex process of entering into contracts by means (or with the assistance) of AI may expose latent problems in existing legal principles. Abstracting from futuristic visions of “intelligent machines gone mad,” it is necessary to confront the purported absence of human intention in the transacting process and examine the legal implications, if any, of interposing one or two AIs between the contracting parties. If no humans are present at the time of contract formation - can we still speak of states of mind? While the complexity of an algorithm must not be regarded as a proxy for intelligence or intention, it must be acknowledged that more sophisticated information systems are prone to emergent behavior, including entering into unintended [unplanned] or commercially unfavorable transactions.

Download or read book Heartificial Intelligence written by John Havens and published by TarcherPerigee. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algorithms will soon know more about us than we know ourselves Where should machine automation end? Is it acceptable to have a digital assistant arrange your calendar, but not to have a robot spouse? Are companion robots acceptable for seniors in need of comfort, but not okay for toddlers exposed to emotional software that could influence their behavior? Is it desirable to live a life within the virtual reality of Facebook’s Oculus Rift, but not if your thoughts are sold to advertisers who manipulate your purchases? We’ve entered an era where a myriad of personalization algorithms influence our every decision, and the lines between human assistance, automation, and extinction have blurred. We need to create ethical standards for the Artificial Intelligence usurping our lives, and allow individuals to control their identity based on their values. Otherwise, we sacrifice our humanity for productivity versus purpose and for profits versus people. Featuring pragmatic solutions drawing on economics, emerging technologies, and positive psychology, Heartificial Intelligence provides the first values-driven approach to algorithmic living—a definitive roadmap to help humanity embrace the present and positively define their future. Each chapter opens with a fictional vignette, helping readers imagine how they would respond to various Artificial Intelligence scenarios while demonstrating the need to codify their values, as the algorithms dominating society today are already doing. Funny, poignant, and accessible, this book paints a vivid portrait of how our lives might look in either a dystopia of robotic and corporate dominance, or a utopia where humans use technology to enhance our natural abilities to evolve into a long-lived, super-intelligent, and altruistic species.

Download or read book Acquiring Ethical AI written by David S. Rubenstein and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how the federal government operates. Under the right conditions, AI systems can solve complex problems, reduce administrative burdens, improve human decisions, and optimize resources. Under the wrong conditions, AI systems can lead to widespread discrimination, invasions of privacy, and the erosion of democratic norms. A burgeoning literature has emerged to square algorithmic governance with the precepts of constitutional and administrative law. Federal procurement law, however, remains a dangerous blind spot in the reformist agenda. This Article pivots into that neglected space and emerges with comprehensive framework for acquiring ethical AI. Toward that end, the Article makes three main contributions. First, it provides an original account that yokes the ambitions of algorithmic governance, the imperative of ethical AI, and the levers of procurement law. Second, this Article argues that the procurement system is uniquely situated to check and enable algorithmic governance in ways that other legal frameworks miss. Third, the Article prescribes a set of concrete regulatory reforms to instantiate ethical AI throughout the procurement process: from acquisition planning to market solicitation, bid evaluation, source selection, and contract performance. Procurement law will not solve all the challenges of algorithmic governance. Just as surely, those challenges cannot be solved without procurement law.
