AI Applications to Reproductive Choices and Human Rights
Speakers: Prof. dr. Paulius Pakutinskas and Dr. Alma Linkevičiūtė
- AI algorithms used in artificial reproductive technologies (ART) often are “black boxes”, which makes the results difficult to interpret and explain leading to potential discrimination;
- Data used in consumer healthcare devices can be disclosed to third parties breaching the privacy rights of its users;
- Misconceptions due to technology bias and overreliance on consumer healthcare apps may compromise liberty to make own decisions about reproductive goals and bodily integrity;
- Consumer healthcare apps can be used for the population’s reproductive surveillance, in-built programmes can use nudges to steer reproductive decisions in the desired direction.
