SUMMARY:AI bias and discrimination in the news and entertainment media - 
 What do US elections and Netflix have in common?
DESCRIPTION:With the recent advance of generative artificial intelligence
  (AI)\, an increasing number of service providers\, platforms and apps r
 ely on AI as part of their working processes. However\, just like humans
 \, AI systems tend to be or become ‘biased’. This bias affects the media
  industry on many levels. Entertainment media giants such as Netflix use
  AI systems to enhance their efficiency but are now also experiencing th
 e negative side-effects of AI bias. The power of media as the ‘Fourth Es
 tate’ is well-known and this session\, just a few days after the US pres
 idential election\, will examine how AI bias may affect election outcome
 s and the risks that AI bias may pose in the news media. In addition\, t
 he panel will examine what tech companies can do (and indeed do) to prev
 ent and control bias when designing AI systems. Finally\, the legal risk
 s concerning AI bias specific to these industry practices will also be a
 ssessed\, in light of the new AI legislation.\n
