Comment by Alexander Laufer

Technology and human-rights researcher at Amnesty International Netherlands.
It is impossible to design an objective or neutral risk profiling algorithm. Data about people is never objective. When governments use past social data to predict who is going to commit a crime such as fraud, they inevitably target individuals who belong to historically oppressed or marginalized groups thereby reproducing and compounding past injustices. There is no technical way to fix societal issues.
