MACHINE LEARNING, INOVAÇÕES GOVERNAMENTAIS E NOVOS DESAFIOS PARA A TRANSPARÊNCIA PÚBLICA

Palavras-chave: Algoritmos. Machine Learning. Transparência. Accountability. Transformação Digital.

Resumo

Governos têm produzido inovações importantes em rotinas administrativas e no processo das políticas públicas com a crescente adoção de sistemas baseados em algoritmos de machine learning. Movidos por uma ideia ampla de transformação digital, a adoção de sistemas de machine learning para tomar decisão e realizar tarefas da administração pública criam uma nova camada de complexidade para as políticas de transparência. Algoritmos de machine learning desafiam as políticas de transparência à medida que o desenho de sistemas e o modo como os algoritmos calculam cursos de ação pública são opacos para a sociedade. Algoritmos de machine learning implementados em diferentes atividades governamentais implicam em desafios para a transparência e accountability. Este artigo discute estes desafios e aponta caminhos com relação à promoção da transparência. Mais do que se concentrar no processo de desenho de arquiteturas algorítmicas, policymakers devem se concentrar também na transparência dos resultados de sistemas aplicados em governos. Processos de autorregulação de IA são insuficientes para enfrentar os desafios conexos do avanço e crescente adoção de algoritmos de machine learning em inovações governamentais.
