Equality, non-discrimination and solidarity

“Equality, non-discrimination and solidarity - including the rights of persons at risk of exclusion. Equal respect for the moral worth and dignity The human right to be valued and treated with respect because of one's personhood. of all human beings must be ensured. This goes beyond non-discrimination, which tolerates the drawing of distinctions between dissimilar situations based on objective justifications. In an AI context, equality entails that the system’s operations cannot generate unfairly biased outputs (e.g. the data used to train AI systems should be as inclusive as possible, representing different population groups). This also requires adequate respect for potentially vulnerable persons and groups,21 such as workers, women, persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities, children, consumers or others at risk of exclusion.” (High-Level Expert Group on AI, 2019, p. 11)
