Discussion
! We hope you enjoyed learning about artificial neural networks and deep learning—as well as about potential ethical issues that may arise due to the complexity of such systems.
Now we would like to ask you to take some time to reflect on what you have learned, while also further developing your critical thinking skills. Please justify your answers as thoroughly as possible and use the technical terminology you learned in this module.
- Technical aspects: How can a machine use artificial neural networks to learn to predict whether a person should be granted a loan or not?
- Societal and ethical aspects: What problems may arise if a deep-learning-based system is used to predict loan approvals? Who might be particularly affected?
- Risk mitigation strategies: What strategies exist to reduce or limit these risks?
- Conclusion: What concrete measures do you think you or others should take to reduce these problems?
