Summary
Exactly as humans, artificially intelligent algorithms may generalize in unacceptable ways and unintentionally discriminate certain groups. This sparks a call for deeply embedding ethical rules in data mining algorithms to guarantee fair and unbiased decision procedures. For taxation too, the fairness principle is essential and a major challenge in digitalisation. The main research question here is therefore how to implement ethical considerations in artificial intelligence taxation systems.
