Guiding the Way: A Comprehensive Examination of AI Guidelines in Global Media
With the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the news industry, media organizations have begun publishing guidelines that aim to promote the responsible, ethical, and unbiased implementation of AI-based technologies. These guidelines are expected to serve journalists and media workers by establishing best practices and a framework that helps them navigate ever-evolving AI tools. Drawing on institutional theory and digital inequality concepts, this study analyzes …

Absolute Technical Efficiency Indices
Technical efficiency indices (TEIs) can be estimated using the traditional stochastic frontier analysis approach, which yields relative indices that do not allow self-interpretations. In this paper, we introduce a single-step estimation procedure for TEIs that eliminates the need to identify best practices and avoids imposing restrictive hypotheses on the error term. The resulting indices are absolute and allow for individual interpretation. In our model, we estimate a distance function using t…

Quality Assurance for Artificial Intelligence: A Study of Industrial Concerns, Challenges and Best Practices
Quality Assurance (QA) aims to prevent mistakes and defects in manufactured products and avoid problems when delivering products or services to customers. QA for AI systems, however, poses particular challenges, given their data-driven and non-deterministic nature as well as more complex architectures and algorithms. While there is growing empirical evidence about practices of machine learning in industrial contexts, little is known about the challenges and best practices of quality assurance f…

Establishing best practices for modeling long duration energy storage in deeply decarbonized energy systems
Long duration energy storage (LDES) may become a critical technology for the decarbonization of the power sector, as current commercially available Li-ion battery storage technologies cannot cost-effectively shift energy to address multi-day or seasonal variability in demand and renewable energy availability. LDES is difficult to model in existing energy system planning models (such as electricity system capacity expansion models), as it is much more dependent on an accurate representation of c…

Fairness in AI: challenges in bridging the gap between algorithms and law

Abstract: In this paper we examine algorithmic fairness from the perspective of law aiming to identify best practices and strategies for the specification and adoption of fairness definitions and algorithms in real-world systems and use cases. We start by providing a brief introduction of current anti-discrimination law in the European Union and the United States and discussing the concepts of bias and fairness from an legal and ethical viewpoint. We then proceed by presenting a set of algorithmic fairness definitions by example, aiming to communicate their objectives to non-technical audiences. Then, we introduce a set of core criteria that need to be taken into account when selecting a specific fairness definition for real-world use case applications. Finally, we enumerate a set of key considerations and best practices for the design and employment of fairness methods on real-world AI applications
