Kara Swisher interviews Margarethe Vestager
Web Summit, video here.
"Some of these algorithms will have to go to law school before they are let out. You have to teach your algorithm what it can do and what it cannot do, because otherwise there is the risk that the algorithm will learn the tricks...we don't want the algorithms to learn the tricks of the old cartelists...we want them to play by the book also when they start playing by themselves"
Watch also the press conference, here.
"One of the discussions I'm trying to enable is the discussion about compliance. Just as much as we hope to see privacy by design I also hope to see compliance by design when we talk about self learning machines... they shouldn't learn the tricks of the old cartelists... they should learn the compliance of the best in the market...we don't propose any rule of that at the moment but we want the debate to take place because it would be sort of paradox when we end up in a situation saying well what happens in the black box remains in the black box...because whatever machine...there is still a business or person who are responsible for what happens..."
