Better decision-making, algorithmic discrimination and gender biases: a new challenge for the administration of the 21st Century

Abstract

We are currently witnessing a social transformation with various converging factors, among which this article will focus on the new public governance and the incorporation of artificial intelligence. This work proposes an analysis of the connection between these two spheres and, in particular, two elements: good administration and the employment of algorithms by the Public Administration. The aim is to highlight the necessity to regulate this instrument and adopt preventive and control mechanisms, in order to avoid algorithmic discrimination, especially from a gender-sensitive perspective.
