AI at work -- Mitigating safety and discriminatory risk with technical standards

Computers and Society 2021-08-27 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI methods in the workplace holds both great opportunities as well as risks to occupational safety and discrimination. In addition to legal regulation, technical standards will play a key role in mitigating such risk by defining technical requirements for development and testing of AI systems. This paper provides an overview and assessment of existing international, European and German standards as well as those currently under development. The paper is part of the research project "ExamAI - Testing and Auditing of AI systems" and focusses on the use of AI in an industrial production environment as well as in the realm of human resource management (HR).
