El problema de la interpretabilidad de la Inteligencia Artificial y su impacto en la Administración Pública

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of today’s most disruptive and transformative technologies. It is increasingly present in all areas, and this massive use of technology is changing us: it is changing our education, the way we work, and the way we relate to each other and to our environment. Of course, Public Administration cannot (and should not) be oblivious to all these changes.

In the not too distant future, a large part of the decisions affecting citizens will be made by intelligent algorithms. In this scenario, the interpretability of AI algorithms will be essential to ensure their proper use in public administration.

This article aims to explain what AI interpretability is and why it is important, how this issue is being addressed from a technical point of view, what is the role of regulation in AI interpretability and what are the future prospects, especially in the field of Public Administration. In order to offer the most comprehensive approach possible, some basic fundamentals of the technology involved and the current degree of integration of AI in Europe and in our country will be explained.
